Feature:
The VU meters on my machine hardly move, but I monitor from other equipment, anyway.
Quality:
Sounds Damn good!
Value:
Would give it an 11, if possible.
Sound:
I picked up this very affordable dual mic pre based on reviews from this site. I was not dissappointed! I had used MAudio's Firewire series and enjoyed the clean quality of the channel 1&2 built in mike pre's. I was totally surprised when I experienced an even warmer and yet still transparent sound on live recordings using a 2nd Rode NT4 at a further distance to capture room ambience, and routing the outputs of the DMP3 into channels 3&4 of my firewire 810. I hardly had to turn the gain (without boost) beyond the 11 O'Clock position, and I was getting even more input and luxurious sound than from Channels 1&2 which were at the 3 O'Clock position. All the artists I record as well as myself really like this thing! Although I could upgrade to the MAudio Octane (8 mike pre's which I hear are even better than the DMP3), its compact size ensures I will always have a use for the DMP3, especially for field recordings, and for use with portable DAT equipment as well.

Feature:
Its got everything I need in a small desktop package that doesn't piss my wife off because it takes up too much space! Plus its so damn cheap (the price, not the sound!).
Quality:
Very solid. Someone here mentioned the VU meters barely moving, but mine give me a good representation of the signal. Connectors are all solid and tight. Seems like it will hold up well over time.
Value:
For this price, two good clean preamp channels, simple and efficient...I'm gonna buy more of these if I ever need more than two preamps!
Desirability:
My wife even thinks the VU meters are cool looking, but the sexiest thing about this unit is the way it sounds!
Sound:
I recorded some vocals with this little guy and a Groove Tube G-1 LDC mic. Man! Didn't have to touch EQ once in my system. Very clean and natural sound. Can't wait to track some bass through this!
Support:
They're the best because I haven't dealt with them!
Overall:
Yeah, I might have to pick up some more of these babies if I start recording bands instead of just recording my own stuff. Can you rack mount it? Gotta check on that!
