Does it include the ADAT expansion module?

That is a great deal for sure. Mine with shipping was about $700, though that was about 1 year ago. O1v's without the card were going for about $550 and the expansion card was $300 new.

Well, I've only had a chance to test it in my house, but the 01V is pretty awesome. I'm glad I got this over that Mackie or something. Compared to what I've used before, there is no sound coloration, no hissing, and the inputs/microphone sound so good its like the person is right in front of you. Compared to this board, the other ones I've used lately are just ok. The only problem is that the select button on channel 5 doesn't work, but the only thing it will keep me from doing is grouping that slider with multiple other slider which I won't do anyway...

So, good advice everyone. It sounds awesome and does everything I need not to mention everything I don't need (yet at least).

Worth checking with a repair center. I've cracked mine open and it may be a quick and easy fix to solder a new actuator on for the channel 5 select. You'll need it to easily select the channel for settings adjustment.

I dropped my Behringer DDX3216 to pieces last month to clean (someone poorer beer on it!) absolutely pain to take apart and reassemble, but it solved the problem of a few sticky switches.
