"I've dated a number of Audio IO's before I met this beauty!"
Sound: Good headroom, Quiet, No Pops or Squeals, Versatile array of inputs, I've owned a number of audio I/O's (Presonus, MOTU, M-Audio) and this one is my favorite! And I really like their tech support people, too. Feature: It came with a DAW but I already had several that I was using. Ease of Use: Drivers installed easily. It's very DAW friendly. This IO is a sleeper and I think it's one of the best ones out there. I'm a 48 year old veteran to the music business so I know my gear. Quality: Very well constructed unlike most of the garbage that it out there now. It's very sturdy! Value: This IO should cost $1,000.00 but it doesn't. Manufacturer Support: Easy to talk to and they have a very helpful attitude. The Wow Factor: All the HID controls and jacks are well placed and easy to use. I love the LED VU Meters! Overall: I'm thinking about purchasing a second one at the sale price. I went through a bunch of IO's before I found this awesome piece of gear!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best bang for the buck among USB DAIs, PERIOD."
Sound: for $370, the preamps in this DAI interface are great. My last DAI was an M-Audio Firewire Solo. It was of decent sound quality for $200. But when I compared my record takes from the Firewire Solo (with the same DAW software, Mic, room, and guitar) to the record takes with the US2000, there is a night and day difference. By comparison, the Firewire Solo recordings sounded muddy and warmer, while the US2000's recordings sounded brighter and clearer. I could pick out each string in the chords played while recorded with the US2000. NOTE: The preamps ARE VERY QUIET, you will have to run your signal with the input volume maxed out! Feature: It comes with 16 inputs! It has mono/stereo and phantom power options for each line input/mic input. It has a lot of features without appearing visually overwhelming to newbies, like a typical mixing board. Ease of Use: If this is not your first DAI, you will be recording in 30 min. or less from the time the box arrives at your door. If it is your first DAI, you might learn the ins and outs in an hour or so. Read the instruction manual! Install it correctly step by step. One you test the recording, fine tune the latency settings for minimizing delay. Quality: The construction seems solidly built, with all metal and screws and what-not. If I ever invest in a rack, I like that it's rack mountable, but for now it's just taking up a lot of space on the desk. Value: I compared this interface with 7-8 others on ZZounds, from $300-$1000, in considering an upgrade from my M-Audio Firewire Solo. I chose this one for the price, the preamp/construction quality, the USB capability, the number of inputs, and the fact that before I had the Firewire Solo, I had a Tascam something-or-other, and it worked ok. This thing will definitely give you the most bang for the buck out there as far as sound quality and value. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed any, so 10 by default. The Wow Factor: I mean, it's not ugly, but it's not sexy either. It does the job though. Overall: I expect to be satisfied with this device for the next 5-10 years, easy.
