This unit has been lightly used for a month or so. Works like brand new. WARNING: This unit works great and sounds fantastic but here is the reason I am selling.  The whole reason I got this specific interface is to chain it to another Thunderbolt device.  I am running a Win7 64bit PC with an ASUS board and ASUS Thunderbolt card. Although this unit works fine with Win7 via USB 2 it is very unstable via Thunderbolt on Win7.  I talked to MOTU and apparently this is solved in Win 8 &10.  Upgrading Windows is not an option for me. SO long story short, if you plan to use this interface via Thunderbolt use it with (Win 8 / Win 10 or Mac OS) only. Cheers.

Thunderbolt fulfills the promise of a truly state-of-the-art connectivity standard for personal computers. With massive bandwidth, Thunderbolt allows you to connect displays, hard drives, and other peripherals to your computer, along with the 828x, up to six devices total (with the 828x at the end of the chain), and the Thunderbolt bus won't even break a sweat. Thunderbolt combines plug-and-play convenience with massive bandwidth and low latency for truly professional audio interface performance.Audio quality without compromise
Now in its fifth generation, the 828 has become well respected in the audio industry. How has this level of respect been earned? Through consistent design integrity and intelligent use of current-generation parts and design technologies.Mac, PC, and USB 3.0 compatible
As Thunderbolt becomes more widely adopted, Hi-speed USB 2.0 provides across-the-board compatibility with virtually all laptops and desktops on both Mac and Windows. Since USB 2.0 devices are compatible with USB 3.0-equipped hosts, your 828x interface is a future-proof investment in your studio. With recording up to 192kHz resolution, you'll always have the most pristine, professional sound at your disposal.How can one audio interface offer this much I/O?
