I reached out to Steinberg and wanted to clarify if the UR816C is no longer available and if it was discontinued. I received a response and they indicated it was discontinued. Does anyone know if there will be any replacements or new units being developed?
The UR816C is still available. At least some dealers still sell it at the moment.
If you have contact with Steinberg, you could ask them.
We, the users, wouldn’t know that.
It should be discontinued… I just swapped out my UR 824 for one and went immediately back… I’m possibly missing something simple in the setup but the noise out of that thing is terrible!
I own one for 5 years now, no noise…
I think Steinberg products are great when they work so I’m pleased for you there.
Mine? I’ll either try it again on another device or maybe slave it to another interface and just use the I/O.
Maybe there is something wrong in the DSPmix software Setup.
What kind of noise are you hearing and at what point are you hearing it.
To be fair… I was hasty to judge it, the ‘main’ output threw me and I ignored it, not realising how it’s set up to attenuate, if that makes sense?
There is some static constantly present on in 6, which I can explain but I am not good at the ‘setting up’ and rather better with the ‘using’ and (again to my shame) I am now using the manual 
I think I’m going to take it back… it shouldn’t be discontinued. Sorry.
No noise for me as well. Its unfortunate the Steinberg discontinued it.

The 816C is definitely growing on me. I have the noise to what I would deem ‘normal low ground’ noise… something I can fix but am too lazy and I don’t hear it at the sound levels I work.
Tape in, synth in, 4 open ins on the front, Yamahas out, Mixcubes out, to tape out and a ramp out… working and very pleased.
Thanks for your initial post which made me revisit the interface.
I can’t see where it says to be discontinued? you can still buy it.
