Feature:
This box is a substitute for my now obsolete Echo io pcmcia card that doesn't fit into the new mac books. I use as a gigging converter, it's small size is unmatched by anything else out there. It's got a separate headphone mix allowing you to cue...this something my old Echo io didn't have...it all works quite well.
Quality:
Well built, tough aluminum case.
Value:
I think it would be a most awesome deal if it were priced about 20% lower but since it's the smallest feature-packed unit out there I had to buy this one.
Desirability:
Well...it's just a box.
Sound:
Excellent quality DAC, quite clean. The headphone output can really drive my cans.
Ease of Use:
brainless setup for macs.
Support:
This thing has been rock-solid so far same went for my Echo io card. Echo's been around awhile and has had plenty of time to get it right.
Overall:
This box offers good quality converters in a tiny form factor. Really best for gigging setups where you can stuff your whole rig into a backpack.

Feature:
It comes with a dongle if you need midi and spdif i/o - best of all, it doesn't come with much, because thats the whole point - its small and you don't need much for it
Quality:
Very high quality - nicely built, solid little device. Its hard not to like it.
Value:
Very good value, really nice sound for the price - and so small. Awesome for gigging, especially the seperate headphones channels
Desirability:
It barely takes any space on your desk but looks so cool how it is. Its nice design, nice materials.
Sound:
Really nice converters. Very clean sound. Very nice sound for this size and this price
Ease of Use:
Plug and play with driver installation - no problems, just worked. Latest drivers have nice software routing option.
Support:
When I bought this back in early 2007 when they had just released it there was some initial problems with early drivers and the support was pretty quick getting back to me. Haven't needed any support for about a year now, the drivers are all smooth and everything is working well
Overall:
Very good for what it is. The sound is the best bit. I haven't tried anything extensive (like very large number of track, but anything I have done, there have been no problems at all).
I am running this on a Macbook and previously on a PC.
For its size and price its pretty amazing. I would only get something else if I need more ins and some mic pre amps (which I will need one day but not now). Even then Ill keep it, its so good for travelling.
