Designed for high-fidelity audio recording and playback, the marian DIGITAL AUDIO ELECTRONICS Clara A TRS is a professional-grade PCIe sound card that delivers pristine sound quality with 16 audio channels in a compact, one-slot PCIe width. It features eight balanced analog 1/4" TRS I/O (16 channels), high-end 24-bit / 192 kHz converters, an ultraprecise clock, and powerful Beast DSP mixer for latency-free mixing and EQ processing, making it an ideal solution for studios and installations requiring reliability and uncompromising audio performance.
The card comes with a 16-channel analog I/O breakout cable equipped with 1/4" TRS connectors.
High Audio Quality for Analog Signals
- With 113 dBA SNR and a THD+N of -104.5 dB, the Clara A delivers premium audio quality.
- A hefty level of +15 dBu provides enough headroom at the inputs and sufficient signal at the outputs for any connected device.
- AD/DA is 24-bit and 192 kHz throughout, with no restrictions on the number of channels.
Advanced DSP Mixing and Realtime Routing
The Beast DSP Mixer offers latency-free volume control and routing of all input signals, along with advanced mixing and playback capabilities:
- Mix up to 64 signals across 8 buses.
- Route playback signals from any DAW.
- Record mix sums back into an application.
- Use the 4-band parametric EQ per channel for precise tonal shaping.
Superior Clocking and Synchronization
- With less than 1 ns jitter, the Clara A’s internal clock provides superior synchronization—often outperforming external studio clocks. This ensures ultralow-jitter performance, making external clocking unnecessary in many setups.
Scalable Multicard Synchronization
- Multiple Clara sound cards installed in a single system can be synchronized via TDM SyncBus, appearing as a single unified ASIO device.
- This enables direct intercard audio signal exchange within the Beast Mixer, supporting up to 32 interconnected audio streams.
Reliable Multiclient Driver Suite
Marian’s continuously refined driver supports:
- ASIO 2.2 and multichannel low-latency WDM audio / WASAPI.
- Simultaneous access by multiple applications.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it.
After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is.
I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.

Super easy to use and takes the guess-work out of getting even pressure on the grounds
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black, Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I have been using a hand tamper for many years and have a good idea of the pressure I am applying to the grounds in the portafilter. I honestly considered spring tampers to be a bit silly. But this tamper really does take the guess-work out of pressing the coffee grounds. The shroud helps guide the press so that pressure is applied even and flat across the surface. With the manual tamper, there will be some play when pressing, or some unevenness in pressure. This is especially true when cranking out many espressos during a breakfast party with friends. Having the spring tamper makes quick work of turning out a lot of coffees with consistency.
There are no instructions for taking this tamper apart to clean inside, and you may not really need to do that very often. After each use, just pull back the shroud (the black piece that moves up and down) and wipe off the tamper (the shiny steel part). This will help prevent grounds from working their way inside. If you do want to take it apart, it’s easy. Pull back the shroud and unscrew the tamper. It will come apart into three pieces. Wipe the pieces off and reassemble. Super quick and easy.
This tamper is very heavy. My scale shows 656 g (about a pound and a half). It fits the portafilter exactly, with no slop. Just place on top of grounds and press!. Don’t even worry about pressure, just push down all the way. Overall I had fun using this tamper versus my manual one. And since I make myself a cappuccino very early in the morning, I don’t have to be very awake to get a good pack on the grounds and get my coffee fast!

It is heavy
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
Item was as described and shipped promptly. It is heavy and works well with my portafilter. I haven't had it long enough to really evaluate how helpful it is.
