" ... Those problems are gone now - the preamps make my cheap mic loud and crisp with no noise. ... "
" ... Other than that it's a very nice sounding Audio interface. ... "
" ... HOWEVER, the sound volume on the balanced output (at least on my unit) is FOUR TIMES LOWER than the unbalanced RCA outputs, so you need to crank it up all the way (both on the device and in the software) in order to hear anything. ... Otherwise, the sound quality is just fine, this output ports disbalance does not affect recording. ... "
" ... My 2002 Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy internal PCIe card is still superior. ... "
" ... It sounds every bit as good , if not a little better, than my Focusrite 2i2 (first generation) and that went for $149. ... "
" ... Great sound, little unit. ... "
" ... I'm no music producer, only bought this as a DAC and headphone amp for my PC for my JBL LSR305s. ... -Separate volume controls for speakers and headphones. ... "
" ... I use it to handle the stereo outputs of a mixer. ... This allows me to practice drums and hear what's on my laptop while also hearing myself from the mixer. ... "

" ... Work perfect on windows and linux. ... "

" ... Easy to use control panel for setup. ... "
" ... The preamps sound great, the driver installation was simple (just go on their website and pick the driver matching the product and your computer OS), the fact that it can pan your direct headphone monitoring signal between stereo and mono is a HUGE plus for me, because I hate listening through only one ear. ...
