Feature:
Toms of great features. I only wish they make of these with more outputs for 5.1 or 7.1 surround eventually.

Quality:
No problems yet, I've had it for almost 8 months. It works excellent in all aspects.

Desirability:
It looks pretty nice, the digital display makes it look fancy as well. It doesn't look "cheap" to me like some small mixers do.

Sound:

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Just hook up a microphone, set it in your prime listening position, and press the Acoustic Room Control button: the mixer then automatically calibrates an EQ setting to match your room acoustics by sending out and measuring static noise through the speakers and listening back. It makes about 4 attempts, gets the response flatter and flatter each time until it's leveled out as far as it can go. Then listen to some of your music.... "wow"... is all you'll be thinking.

Overall:
Three words: ACOUSTIC ROOM CORRECTION It's pretty simply - that one feature alone makes it worth buying this mixer. Simply amazing results. I don't actually use this mixer to mix music within a DAW -- instead, I use it to mix the output from my sound card to my speakers to compensate for room acoustics, as well as to boost the low-end of my speakers when I'm just casually listening to iTunes, etc. I set iTunes software EQ to flat and then I use this Roland mixer to meet my personal EQ preferences. Using the Acoustic Room Correction is the difference between a dull sound and a sparkling smooth, heavenly sound. Everyone I let listen to my music is blown away by the way it sound (thanks to my little secret: my Edirol mixer) The Acoustic Room Correction alone is worth the $400. Buy if just for that... for me it was very well worth it. I only wish that Roland had a mixer device like this with Acoustic Room Correction for 5.1 and 7.1 set-ups. I wish... But seriously folks, it you own a home studio and can't afford tons of room acoustic absorbers and diffusers, than buy this. The next best thing is the JBL LSR series speakers, but those are much more expensive then this little mixer, which works well if you already have a pair of speaker monitors that you like and you're on a budget, yet you want the most accurate, pleasing sound possible. I havn't heard any noise issues like the review before this. That could be due to any aspect of his signal chain. I've actually found this mixer to be very top-notch reliable.

Feature:
The features is where this mixer wins. I has a lot of features. I really like it's EQ features -- it gives you a TON more control than an analog mixer... and I get to see what's going on right there on the display on the mixer. I especially like the Acoustic Room Control feature. This works very well. It was like night and day. I didn't know what I was missing -- the sound is so much more clear now, it's hard to believe how muddy it used to be.

Quality:
Very good features, but a little bit noisy. I think that can be worked around though, and actually the noise is not any worse than my last mixer which was an analog mixer.

Sound:
The reason I give the sound an 8 is because with the gain turned all the way up, this mixer adds a noticeable amount of noise.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Excellent.

Overall:
Very good value. It's almost worth it just for the Acoustic Room Control, but also the EQ. I haven't tried the microphone preamps yet so i can't tell you what those are like.
