Feature:
This card had exactly the features I was looking for, high quality AD/DA. Simple.

Quality:
No issues with the unit physically. Great sound.

Value:
If you are looking for a terrific sounding stereo (not a multi-channel) AD/DA converter this sound card is for you. Plus now you can a midi interface for the same price.

Desirability:
Great sound.

Sound:
The sound of this card I don't think can be any better. I have been using the Echo Mia ( actually the version w/out midi ) for about two years for home recordings. In my estimation I was able to create professional quality recordings. The tracks that I recorded with MIA even before I peformed any audio processing or editing sounded terrific, clear and without the harshness or thinness that is sometimes associated with digital recording.

Support:
Standard support I believe. If there was an issue it would have stuck in my mind.

Overall:
For what this is you cannot ask for more. I am currently searching for another AD/DA converter that is outside my computer so I can free up computer processing power for more tracks and effects.

Feature:
Can't complain about the features. It does what it's supposed to do. The reviews that give the Mia low ratings are written by morons that have no idea what they're doing. I was cracking up at the review that complained the card has no "sounds"!!!! HA!!!!! What a moron. Try reading just a tiny bit about the product before you spend your money next time.

Quality:
Top quality card. Solid 1/4" balanced jacks. No complaints.

Value:
You just can't beat this price for an audiophile card.

Desirability:
I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

Sound:
Very very clean sound, couldn't ask for anything more. Ultra quiet. Just make sure you use balanced cables, and tie it into something else with balanced ins and outs!!!! That's what you need to keep the noise down. I bought this card specifically because it offered balanced ins and outs.

Support:
Got quick answers to every e-mail I sent them. Excellent driver updates; they usually offer both "stable" and "beta" releases on their websites. The driver that came with my card was buggy, but the website already had a newer version. So what else is new? Who doesn't immediately check the internet for the latest drivers?

Overall:
AWESOME!!!!

Feature:
The software mixer isn't the greatest, but it does it's job... this would be the only area I'd want more from this item, but hey, it's still an 8/10 =P

Value:
Good bang for the buck, there -might- be better out there at this price, but I doubt it.

Sound:
Very clean, recording is great with this card (admittedly, I've only hooked up synths to it, haven't tried vocals yet).

Overall:
I bought this on advice from a friend (he's a mastering engineer, so perhaps even a step above the average audiophile when it comes to gear pickiness), and have been pleased with it so far.

Feature:
No, it does not include features that I don't want. For my setup it is ideal. No nonsense.

Quality:
The quality seems first class.

Value:
You cannot beat the value.

Sound:
Any imperfection of this card may have is completely inaudible. You cannot beat the quality for the price. I connect to my MIA with a Behringer UB2442FX mixer and my recordings all sound perfectly professional.

Ease of Use:
After setup, you can pretty much forget about it. I run Cool Edit Pro 2.0 and Mia just does its thing from there.

Feature:
It's pretty bare bones, but the Mia Midi does what it's designed to do very well. It has native WaveRT support for Vista x64. Make sure to download the drivers from their website and don't even bother with what's on the CD. The updated drivers are rock solid and work flawlessly. I'm at 2.7 ms using ASIO in Vista x64 no problems.

Quality:
The quality of the audio components on this card is superior and it shows in the clarity of sound. I do worry a bit about the way the dongle for the digital inputs hooks up via an S-video connector on the card, but it works without any problems so far.

Value:
There aren't many audio interfaces that work natively with Vista x64 but this is one that does (and does it well)!

Desirability:
This card is proven (older) technology and a workhorse for getting the job done, not much in the way of new tech here, just superior drivers. ;)

Sound:
Very clear sound out of this product, no noise or distortion that I can hear or see in the recordings.

Ease of Use:
The card installs easily. I downloaded the updated drivers ahead of time so no problems there. The Mia Midi also readily co-exists with my onboard HD Audio, and the driver has no problems routing the output from the HD Audio for games and stuff into one of the Virtual (software) inputs for the Mia Midi. There is a little bit of setup needed to do in Windows to set the default audio input and output devices, but once everything is configured it works great. Input and Output levels, panning, muting, are all easily controlled via the visual mixer window provided with the driver.

Support:
The website has updated drivers including native support for Vista x64. They respond to e-mail within 1 business day.

Overall:
This is a reliable product and I use it every day. If something happened to it, I would definitely get another.

Feature:
sound goes in, sound comes out. soft mixer/console easy to use, drivers installed in win2K easy

Quality:
i'd say the jacks could prolly be stronger, but i plan on leaving the jacks in most of the time anyway

Value:
for this price you can't beat it. i've used the echo 20bit products (gina and layla) and this thing is great. latencies in reaktor are also lower then with my layla, <3ms in reaktor 4

Desirability:
its a pci card, unless yer a robot it has no sex appeal tho i gotta say the breakout spdif/midi cable is pretty ugly but who the hell cares

Sound:
i hear a lot of hype about the rme stuff, but lets face it today technology has grown so fast that this stuff can be had for small $ i use the miamidi as part of my bass effects rig (with reaktor) and it sounds amazing. although i've never personally used RME

Support:
never had to use support

Overall:
what more can i say

Feature:
Wish it had SPDIF optical I/O (had to buy an external converter).

Quality:
The coaxial SPDIF I/O on mine broke after maybe a week's worth of light use. I think it was due to the very cheap and non-reinforced dongle jack - very tight fit! When the replacement comes I may put a DB9 on it after the warranty runs out. The mounting bracket is a bit too maleable as well.

Value:
Excellent value!

Desirability:
Central to my home recording setup.

Sound:
Very nice converters, low noise floor.

Support:
Don't know here, but the documentation is pretty good. You should download the manual before you buy it to see if your motherboard chipset is supported (not all are).

Overall:
Very nice card, probably the best for the money. Good driver set, nice software included (all time-limited, but where else are you going to find CoolEdit Pro 2.0 now that Adobe has bought out Syntrillium?).

Feature:
Balanced I/O with solid 1/4" TRS plugs. Simple control panel & good software package. Virtual I/O ports. Great documentation.

Quality:
Have several in commercial service and never had a failure or an issue.

Value:
Best bang for the buck.

Sound:
Excellent, low noise floor.

Support:
Never had any issues with these cards, but they have great driver support.

Overall:
Be sure to check the MB chipset compatability and have an understanding of what the card does and doesn't do before purchasing.

Feature:
The break lead is good although the phono plugs could be stronger.

Quality:
Just the in and outs could be a little more stronger.

Value:
Maybe for around $700.00AUD the card is a bit low in quality but for the price I paid, well what can I say.What a beauty!

Desirability:
Looks great. I have an Antec case with a window and it shines.

Sound:
This card rocks. With the Ausie dollar going up I bought the card for $500.00AUD less than i would have here. It works well and installation was a breeze. Even upgrading the drivers was easy.

Support:
Never had to call.

Overall:
It meets all my needs and more. If I was to upgrade I would probably go Mac and an external audio card.
