Quality:
My fireports did't last. Within short period (about a year+ for the 1st one and 3months for the 2nd one) they had spoilt.

Sound:
I have bought two fireports at different occasions. I also have 1 HD24 which I use for 24tracks recording.

Overall:
I need something that would last as long as other equipment.

Feature:
Support for broadcast wave would be awsome. (bouncing projects longer than 2 or 3 hours). Cause FST and recording for more than 90 minutes is what the DM24 set it apart from de tascam MX2424 and the Mackie recorders

Quality:
It's nicely build but, well, its more sturdy than ordinary computerstuff but not so awsome build as the HD24 wich gets a 10.

Value:
Its something you need beside a HD24 when recording live

Desirability:
Its just gear I need.

Sound:
The Fireport is a great piece of hardware. But be aware. It doesn't use broadcast wave. And however the HD24 can record for hours and hours, don't make sessions longer than 1,5 hours or its impossible to bounce using this fireport. For the rest? it simply works on a PC, and that's a whole lot.

Support:
One broke down, I bought another one, and however they wanted to replace it, they ran out of stock so I got my mony back. Thanks that I allready bought me one.

Overall:
It now has support for the mac, That's cool. When they have support for broadcast wave I'll go through the roof.
