"this is an awesome awesome card"

Feature:
Can't complain about the features. It does what it's supposed to do. The reviews that give the Mia low ratings are written by morons that have no idea what they're doing. I was cracking up at the review that complained the card has no "sounds"!!!! HA!!!!! What a moron. Try reading just a tiny bit about the product before you spend your money next time.

Quality:
Top quality card. Solid 1/4" balanced jacks. No complaints.

Value:
You just can't beat this price for an audiophile card.

Desirability:
I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Sound:
Very very clean sound, couldn't ask for anything more. Ultra quiet. Just make sure you use balanced cables, and tie it into something else with balanced ins and outs!!!! That's what you need to keep the noise down. I bought this card specifically because it offered balanced ins and outs.

Support:
Got quick answers to every e-mail I sent them. Excellent driver updates; they usually offer both "stable" and "beta" releases on their websites. The driver that came with my card was buggy, but the website already had a newer version. So what else is new? Who doesn't immediately check the internet for the latest drivers?

Overall:
AWESOME!!!!

"Beautiful (low nice, full) sounding card."

Feature:
This card had exactly the features I was looking for, high quality AD/DA. Simple.

Quality:
No issues with the unit physically. Great sound.

Value:
If you are looking for a terrific sounding stereo (not a multi-channel) AD/DA converter this sound card is for you. Plus now you can a midi interface for the same price.

Desirability:
Great sound.

Sound:
The sound of this card I don't think can be any better. I have been using the Echo Mia ( actually the version w/out midi ) for about two years for home recordings. In my estimation I was able to create professional quality recordings. The tracks that I recorded with MIA even before I peformed any audio processing or editing sounded terrific, clear and without the harshness or thinness that is sometimes associated with digital recording.

Support:
Standard support I believe. If there was an issue it would have stuck in my mind.

Overall:
For what this is you cannot ask for more. I am currently searching for another AD/DA converter that is outside my computer so I can free up computer processing power for more tracks and effects.

Echo Mia MIDI
If you're serious about digital audio, you shouldn't settle for anything less than a truly professional audio interface.... and now with Mia MIDI you don't have to. Mia MIDI offers a pair of balanced 1/4 in. analog inputs and outputs and operates at the +4dBu levels used by pro-audio gear. It combines this with 24-bit/96kHz converters and 106 dB of dynamic range for the quality your recordings deserve. Also included is an S/PDIF digital audio interface for connecting to other digital audio equipment, and MIDI input/output jacks on a custom molded cable.

A unique feature of Mia MIDI is the use of "virtual" outputs. Mia MIDI appears to software as if it has eight separate outputs, which are digitally mixed down to the physical outputs using Mia MIDI's "console" software and its on-board DSP. This makes Mia MIDI compatible with all popular multi-track software. And, with Echo's "multi-client" drivers, more than one application (such as an editor and software synth) can be playing back through Mia MIDI at the same time.

Please note that the MIDI functions of Mia MIDI only work under Windows ME/2000/XP(WDM) and Mac OS X.
