Sound: cool sound no complaints. Feature: so convient. instead of having i mixer just to control the overall sound, i can control moniter from the front panel knobs. cool digital in/out(plus).and head phone jack in front. i love it Quality: ok, could of been steel like the quattro Value: sort of ok. $199 is ok, some people complain. i figure midi is included which is 40-60 dollars separate features 50 dollars and a typicall sound card for 100 dollars. it all adds up well. Manufacturer Support: dont know The Wow Factor: looks good Overall: its perfect for me right now.

Sound: The sound is clear and crisp, if your having problems with the quality of the sound, put some damn money towards a decent pre-amp or mixer. Feature: Most useful feature is the RCA/Tape I/O Quality: Nothing wrong here. The product is clean. Value: Reasonable price. Manufacturer Support: I have not yet needed support. The Wow Factor: It's sleek. Overall: 8.2 Overall, I will have this product for another year.

Sound: The sound seems okay, when it works, except there were occasional drop-outs -- this might have been the fault of the computer, not the Audiophile USB, but it was a fully loaded 1 gHz machine. Quality: The physical quality seems okay. The Mac OS X drivers appear to be unreliable. It works for a while, then it doesn't work, then I reinstall drivers, then it works for a while, etc. Also, I have far more system crashes when these drivers are installed. It's just not worth it. Value: This was more trouble than it was worth, at any price. Manufacturer Support: Their support department replied that they hadn't heard of the problem, but suggested I should update to the latest Mac OS. This didn't help. Overall: I'm still waiting for usable drivers.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Good sound quality, cumbersome/minimalistic software interface. Feature: Installation is a headache if you're not versed in technology. It sure isn't plug-n-play. It didn't come with all the "free software" i.e. stripped down limited edition software it said it would. Quality: Not too dependable when one has to worry about it crashing. Value: Nope, not worth it. Manufacturer Support: I've gone back and forth via email and phone with Tech Support and problems with XP crashing with even the latest drivers. I finally gave up. The Wow Factor: It looks good, but I don't care so much about looks, as long as it works. I'd go with someone else other that M-Audio. Overall: I should have returned it (it was past its return date when I opened it) or sold it and gotten something more reliable. M-Audio dropped it like a hot potato once they saw how terrible this product is. The latest drivers (version: 1.5.4.15) were written in June of 2003. Doesn't that say something about their support?

Sound: This sound card sounds absoluty fantastic! Feature: Right out of the box this card seems great... Quality: Well made.. no problems there. Value: At $250 this thing is a waste of a lot of good money. Manufacturer Support: Had to wait for 20 mins (on a long distance call) before I got someone on the phone - this was before getting NO REPLY from an email I sent them. The Wow Factor: It looks good on the side of your monitor. Overall: I am returning this and buying a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum.
