Can one of our German or Austrian members please suggest a good RME retailer in Munich, Graz or Wien? I'm chasing a UCX. My Googling has not been much help.
Thanks

Thomann. They have good prices and great service from their webshop Thomann.de, sending most stuff over 100e is usually free within Europe. And I believe they're Munich based? Southern Germany anyway.

Thomann is located in Treppendorf, Bavaria, 250km from Munich and well worth a visit. And perfect for online ordering worldwide.
In Munich there's Lindberg and JustMusic, don't know if they've got the ucx in stock. Just call'em.

in vienna you can go to "klangfarbe" ... ask for thomas in the recording department 

Oops haha. Anything East of the border is "Germany" to me :)

There is an RME Forum (FYI).
 
I love my UCX. I expect that you will too!!
 
You should be aware that in addition to the drivers for the device and TotalMix Software, you get DigiCheck.

I often launch 4-5 instances of DigiCheck and monitor all kinds of great things using it.
 
I also love the mixing in TotalMix and the on board FX are sensation! EQ, Compression, Delay, Verb.
 
I've even mixed recordings in Sonar bouncing them through the Reverb in  the RME.
 
Fun fun fun

Great tips everyone. I'm in Graz at the moment but might call Klangfarbe first in the morning.
(Apparently I can also get the mehrwertsteuer back when I leave for home).
Much appreciated

Hi Guys
I now have the UCX up and working. It turned out that Musik Hammer had a unit here in Graz and sold it to me at the Thomann price.
A first I was shocked by how small it is but ... damn, this thing is good!
Thanks all - no post-purchase depression here.

Enjoy.
 
I rarely let mine cool. ;-)

Yes, and you are right about the DigiCheck. I love the way you can just pull it up on any app. Have you noticed that there is a new version with LU's available? Been trying it with a Buzz Audio pre and an 1176 - very happy.
(Decided to order rack-mount brackets from Germany: In for a penny, in for a pound!).
Cheers
