It sounds ok. low noise and flawless
Ease of Use:
You need a little practice with the software. Hardware is easy to use.
Support:
If you looks on m audio web site you can find many answers.
Overall:
I like the shape, the sound, the very very wide features. You need really take care of following : NEVER DISCONNECT OR POWER OFF THE DEVICE WITH THE COMPUTER IS ON. You can easy damage your firewire card ( or your motherboard). You MUST have a fireware card ( or motherboard) with Texas Instrument Chipset ( TI Chipset), Pyro, for exaple. If not you will have a lot of scratch and noise, Impossible to record !!. So don't start to work around drivers and similar stuffs...power on and power off... and so on. If you got problems , 99% are related to firewire interface.

Feature:
I wish I had bought one with more inputs, but I have a mixer as well so I make it work. It seems to be a pretty rugged box to me.
Quality:
My first one got pretty badly abused and is still working fine after four years. The second one is also working great.
Value:
The price is comparable to other's like it.
Desirability:
It's pretty much a plain-jane silver box.
Sound:
I have two of these. The first one I bought four years ago. I went through hurricane Wilma, got soaked, dropped a monitor speaker on it and smashed the top in. It still works fine, but I bought a second one just in case. OK, it doesn't have 128KHZ sampling...
Ease of Use:
The software works most of the time. Seems like the problem is that the hardware needs proprietary drivers. It would be nice if M-Audio were to redesign it to use standard firewire drivers so it could be used with 'nix boxes other than Mac. Sometimes it will interfere with other firewire equipment in the chain, and the computer will have to be rebooted to get them back.
Support:
I have not had to deal with them directly.
Overall:
I keep looking for better, but haven't found better for the price yet. As I stated before, I hope they fix the driver's issue to make it compatible with standard ieee-1394 drivers.
No latency ASIO is great to have.
