Feature:
PCI card and cable. Software CD. Nothing else required.
Quality:
Some static coming from volume knob. but I set this to play at the same level and adjust in software and at the preamp.
Value:
Got it for $275 the first year it came out.
Desirability:
The power output knob is too close the headphones input, making it difficult to adjust with average fingers. If not for that, a 10.
Sound:
I'm into high-end audio, but only own a mid-fi system. I can compare the audio quality for two-channel for the same source music (HDCD, music DVD, etc) and cannot tell the difference. I use an Arcam Alpha9 HDCD source thorugh a Creek passive preamp (Gina plugs in here, too), via Transparent Audio 'Wave 100' speaker cables to Boston Acoustics T930 full range speakers. Now, with the Gina, I'm just as likely to pop in the CD/DVD into my PC and let that be the source! I use Guitar Rig III on this PC thru the Gina and WOW --- so many amps, so little latency (any at all?), and such great sound. It all just works and sounds awesome. I also record through it - Ibanez RG321 with DiMarzio '59s, SHure SM58 mic. Have not used the 5.1, but look forward to doing home theater through it!!
Ease of Use:
I don't recall any difficulty. Helps to read the manual, and revisit the WIndows and Echo consoles a few times if using with Tracktion, for example.
Support:
RMA'd the product for poor phantom power, and later realized it wasn't the issue. At any rate, they did it quick and shipped it back to me in good time.

Feature:
love the breakoutbox, came with software, never used it. i use reason 3.0 along with recycle and adobe audition and it works flawlessly.
Quality:
built like a beast.
Value:
excellent value.
Desirability:
the gina is so sexy. my first true love.
Sound:
beautiful converters, good preamps.
Ease of Use:
if you know how to install a PCI card and connect wires, then its a breeze.
Support:
had a few questions, easy to reach, very helpful.
Overall:
i will use this product until it wears out. (if it ever does) and if it does, i will most likely purchase another one just like it, possibly in the future i will purchase an upgrade if Echo makes one.
