Location: Singapore

Feature:
Could have been more inputs/outputs.

Quality:
Light but well built.

Value:
Should be priced below 100USD. Bit expensive for 16bit sound card.

Desirability:
I have it.

Sound:
U get warm sound for this little semi-pro stuff. Why Not.. This thing rocks.

Ease of Use:
Plug and record. No hassle.

Support:
Good warranty for 1 year.

Overall:
This thing could be priced lower cos today resolution of most cards is above 16bits. A bit outclass by its specs. And other USB cards could have been more value priced given this price. Still, its sound quality is respectably good with good AD/DA.

Feature:
I like the simple features, although I've yet to use the digital ports.

Quality:
Construction is very weak, and almost too light. But on the good side, it's light to carry around.

Value:
I got what I paid for.

Sound:
Noisy +10dB...I got what I paid for. Pay the extra money and get the M audio pci if you want to record more professionally. I tried it on several computers and different settings (I do pc repairs for a living). It still does the job of recording though.

Support:
I haven't tried contacting them yet.

Overall:
It's okay for entry level, home.
