Feature:
I wish it had MIDI in and outs on it. But I don't work too much with MIDI at this time so it's no big deal.

Quality:
Great, nothing more to say.

Value:
Great price for the recording quality you will get with it. Only thing I wish it had was the MIDI. Other than that it is excellent.

Desirability:
I own it!

Sound:
The sound I get from this piece of gear is just what I put into it. I am very impressed with the quality.

Support:
I have yet to use the support so I will give it a ten.

Overall:
Great product, you won't go wrong buying one of these. Great for portable recordings.

Feature:
Every type of I/O i need.

Quality:
Made of metal - woo hoO!

Value:
Best price for quality+i/o selection.

Desirability:
METAL, RACK, BLUE. 'Nuff said.

Sound:
Sounds great. Clean.

Support:
The support rep guy did a remote session and fixed the driver FOR ME!!!!! HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THAT!?

Overall:
Very, very, satisified. I love the size. I have made a 9v battery pack for use in the field. Works perfect.

Feature:
Very versatile input/output combinations. My recordings are archived to CD with little (if any) editing, so I have only experimented with 24bit/96kHz sampling. Full duplex input/output is missed at this bit rate.

Quality:
Probably rugged enough for some work on location, but it is intended to be used in a "desktop studio."

Desirability:
Are you going to keep wondering about the "sex appeal" of this thing, or are you going to GO PRACTICE?!!!

Sound:
Completely satisfied. Consider the cost/quality of two mic preamps without the all the digital converters, etc. For the money, I think the UA-5 sounds great!

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
If it breaks today, I'll order another tomorrow!

Feature:
This does a lot: mic-pre, analog line in, digital i/o, and analog outs. But really, it only does one thing at a time. It's limited in many respects. I think the term "sound capture" is apt: It's ideal for 2-track live location recordings and simple projects. If you're Joe Superproducer, well, why are you even bothering to read this?

Quality:
This is a consumer-grade unit. The controls and jacks are PC mounted and won't take kindly to jostling. I give it 3 years before it hums and buzzes.

Value:
It's a value. It's very portable and sounds good.

Desirability:
this is a stupid question.

Sound:
As a mic pre or ADC/DAC, this isn't the living end. But, for an all-in-one box to use with a notebook computer, the sound is clear and quite usable. For under $300, the sound is remarkably good.

Support:
The manual is easy to read. New drivers are available on their website. If you're looking for any manufacturer these days to hold your hand and help you figure out every little problem for you, save your money for a time machine.

Overall:
Do yourself a favor; record at the highest resolution you can and downsample it when it comes time to burn your cd.
