Man, I need to up my meds ...
 
I called B&H to order a camera lens for SWMBO.  When I got the confirmation email there is also a TASCAM US16X08 in the order!  

I didn't realize it was available yet...

I didn't either until I noticed "In Stock/Ready To Ship".  I even called to place the order to make sure.  It's supposed to be here Monday.
 
 

Got here Monday. So far, so good!  Working great with Windows 8.1 x64 and Sonar Platinum.

A few notes:
- The 16x08 is disabled in Windows Sound options.
- So far with small projects performance is great with 8.8ms RTL @ 48K/64 sample buffer
- Very stable with one exception so far ... futzing about with Output Settings in the Settings Panel while an audio app has the 16x08 selected has caused a couple of driver crashes. It is VERY easy to remember to NOT do this.  Exit Sonar (or whatever), make changes, restart Sonar.  No reboots required.

- The transient overhead is great.  Amps via DO and Red Box 5 are working much better - much easier to get levels set compared to my ex-Delta66 and a Behringer USB mixer.  Pres are clean with DI guitars via INST (IN9 & IN10). 
 
I haven't fed it via mic yet.  I haven't tried the internal EQs or COMPs either. 
 
Sweet so far.  I can't believe how much interface this thing provides for $300.

Post more of your thoughts after you've had a chance to play with it for awhile. It's on my consider list. Thanks...

Thanks for posting BobF! I have been waiting to read the reviews and check one out at my local shop.
I am hoping to hear from Craig about it, though I suppose he has to actually get one, first! LOL

BobF -
 
I am echoing previous comments - please keep us posted - it is likewise on my radar....
 

I'll keep posting my experiences here.

Just looking for that update on how that Tascam 16X08 is functioning with new Sonar....

I haven't posted any updates because nothing has changed.  It continues to work great.  I've had zero problems with Sonar or any other app using it.
 
I have done some loopback tests.  The results are that the driver is overestimating latency by 28 samples.  So the real latency is actually a shave better this
