Why 8i6 is better? I don't think I need so many input/outputs.
You might not at the moment but once you discover the benefits of multi program audio you will never want to go back. That was my own experience anyway and if you buy now it will save you money in the long run.
Here are a couple of examples of apps you may find useful.
Prioritise your music listening by, for example, assigning foobar2000 output to 1 stereo pair using exclusive access via ASIO/WASAPI/KS drivers. Miss out the windows mixer completely and get bit perfect playback without risk of clipping.
Default any other or all audio applications to another output pair. So you can be listening to music on speakers and talking to your mates, play games, access youtube, cue up the next tune etc etc on headphones or mixed into your main output on your interface.
If you have more than one set of speakers you can listen to different programs in different rooms simultaneously. I pipe internet radio into the kitchen for example.
The inputs are also very useful. You can permanently hook up a TT, tape player, receiver or even CD player and listen when the PC is disconnected. Instant access to record anything instantly with the push of a button. Even when listening to something else at the same time.
Plug in a quality microphone for quality podcasting or Skype.
The list is endless and limited only by your own imagination. At the moment you are using your PC and interface to simply duplicate an old style domestic hi-fi. For what is in reality a very little extra cash you can enter a whole new world of audio flexibility. It's the future - today.
If you already own prosumer monitors (the KKRs) it's best to get an interface from the same stable of manufacturers. they have been in the market far longer than the hi-fi guys now desperately playing catch up.
