I am planning on going with rme as my final studio interface for my main desktop rig. Maybe try disabling *all* other sound devices and test with a few live cd's such as avlinux. If you can go with firewire there are quite a few "good value" devices. The focusrite sapphire 40... I have a presonus firepod and I have researched the echo audiofire which has no onboard preamps, only 12 nice balanced ins and outs. I feel the clock might be noticably better in the audiofire or an rme device compared to my firepod. Otherwise, the firepod is well supported by ffado, gets great performace/latency in linux (around 2ms stable) and the preamps are decent, though easy to bypass with balanced ins and outs. I think the sapphire probably has a little better preamps, and is in a similar price range, and I have heard great things about its performance/support in linux. I would try and find someone with that rme hardware in maybe the ardour community and just ask how they utilize it. I have only heard good things about the support for rme, though I remeber reading something paul davus posted about pcie versus pci.
