For some reason Roland doesn't provide specs for total harmonic distortion / noise. Personally I find that numbers are not be-all and end-all. Output dynamic range seems good at 113 dB (Focusrite 8i6 110 dB, MOTU M4 120 dB). If you just compare the numbers, newer interfaces seem better in terms of dynamic range on the inputs (Roland 104 dB, Focusrite 8i6 110 dB, MOTU M4 120 dB). As a person who doesn't like to change hardware often without a good reason, I prefer manufacturers with that sort of long-term commitment to their products.

their Quad-Capture audio interface is discontinued, but it still has a page on their website, with drivers available for Windows 10 / macOS 11.

a new version of OS comes out, but they don't update the drivers). I read complaints about some manufacturers releasing new models often, and dropping support for their older models (i.e. That's why I didn't find it on any recent article titled, for example, "how to choose an audio interface" or "best audio interfaces in 2021". Released in 2010, it might be called ancient by some (in today's world, when people change their smartphones every year or two). So I was almost settled on the Focusrite, when I stumbled upon the Roland Octa-Capture. MOTU is highly recommended, but for an amateur like me, it just seemed too expensive. I was choosing between Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 (3rd gen) and MOTU Ultralite Mk5. I wanted to get a desktop audio interface with at least 6 inputs. In my opinion this is overall a better device than most in the same category. It can be coupled with one more Octa-Capture, Studio-Capture, VS-100 or VS-700, allowing to expand in the future if more ports are needed. Even though the unit was first released in 2010, Roland keeps updating the drivers to support the latest OS versions. The front panel user interface is brilliant and allows to adjust every setting, so it can also be set up and used as a standalone mixer, all without needing a computer. Octa-Capture is a well designed audio interface featuring 8 analog inputs, each equipped with an XLR / 1/4" combo jack and a preamp, allowing up to 8 microphones or other instruments. Something surprisingly basic and easy to integrate yet very rarely seen on interfaces. The knob controls can take a bit of getting used to and other than expansion limitations I can think of no real issues I have had with this wonderful unit! It would have been really really awesome if it had a monitor A/B function too. In a nutshell: It sounds good, is easily portable, individual phantom power, auto sense, upto 10 inputs once you add the 2 digital ins, great autosense feature, no latecy on my set up (Win 8.1 64 bit, i7 2.8Ghz, 16GB RAM, Samsung EVO SSD). While this doesnt really make up for the expansion limitations, points to Roland. On the plus side it does have a MIDI in/out which was also something I was unable to find on too many competing interfaces.

Even though I've used Roland products for over 10 years, I also like variety so for tonal varierty I'd prefer to get a dual input pre amp with a digital out for the spdif input and make use of the full 10 inputs this awesome unit offers. I also rated it slightly down on characteristics, as the lack of an Adat connection didnt bother me when i purchased it but am now unable to expand without getting another octacapture and stacking them. I rated the Octacapture slightly down on sound quality, while it is fantastic for the price I can only imagine there are better albeit more expensive products out there.

Some of it can be a bit fiddly to set up, the reverb, the input and output mixers A-D, keep the manual handy! All great features nonetheless, and the software it comes with makes it much easier to navigate the interface including said features.
Nice reverb for monitoring: the reverb is not recorded through to the daw. Hi pass, phase and compression on all channels is nice though i mostly only use the hi pass.
The Autosense feature is very, very, very handy although going through each channel and setting the levels individually is not too much effort either. Setting it up to use in Cubase 8 was a breeze if you know what you are doing, I have had no need to fiddle with any latency settings and get no noticeable lag or delay in any sense. I really don't understand why batch phantom power is even a thing! Individual phantom power was a biggie for me.

I got this to upgrade to a PC based set up after years of using a dedicated Roland VS2400CD, so while I have no way to compare it to any other recent USB interfaces I can say that it does a fine job for my requirements.
