Layla 24/96[url=]![]()

Echo Audio's line of audio interfaces hasn't seen a major new product in some time. The company recently shipped an improved version of its entry-level Mia audio interface, which we currently have in our "value-focused" system, with the newer version adding a MIDI interface to the existing product. The Layla 24/96, which has been out for some time, continues to be a very solid offering from Echo, and we liked just about everything we saw from the Layla in the course of our testing.

Layla's mixer panel looks pretty barebones at first glance, but it has all the needed knobs and buttons to get your mixing done. The faders are dB-accurate, and you can manually enter in a specific level of gain or attenuation. The user interface could use an improved layout, creating a more mixer table-like appearance to make visualizing signal routing easier. But once you understand how the mixer is laid out, it's fairly straightforward to make adjustments and tweaks.
Layla's back panel is all quarter-inch connectors, so if you want to use microphones, you'll need some kind of external pre-amp like an analog mixing board or Lo-Z to Hi-Z converter barrel – which also converts XLR connector to quarter-inch. We'd like to see at least a pair of XLR connectors, but given the Layla's overall excellent performance, we're willing to cut it a bit of slack.
In our hard-disk recording tests, Layla was absolutely solid, and we could measure no latency between the first recorded track and the last. The ASIO driver worked perfectly, and gave us absolutely no hiccups. It's the way things ought to be: the hardware just gets out of your way and lets you make music.
Layla's wave driver was also solid and gave us no trouble. We were able to make measurements using RightMark, and here's what we found:
All told, the Layla is a great piece of hardware. True it lacks a bundled hard-disk recording app as found in the Aardvark Q10 and the DigiDesign Digi001, but its versatility and overall performance are such that you should consider it anyway.

看到论坛有些兄弟推荐这卡，所以我也找了些资料。
因为手头没有这卡，所以也不能开盖子看里面的用料以及电路，很遗憾。

Layla's frquency response curve was also very flat, just the way you'd want it, and as you can see, Layla's numbers on the other tests were very impressive.
Noise level, dB (A): -101.2 Excellent
Dynamic range, dB (A): 101.1 Excellent
THD, %: 0.0015 Excellent
IMD, %: 0.0086 Very good
Stereo crosstalk, dB: -100.3 Excellent
