Feature:
Wish it didn't recognize SCMS, no coaxial I/O. Anyway, who cares about these issues in the pro world?

Quality:
Oh... It's MADE IN JAPAN not China.

Desirability:
UW500 is built to last. Very practical tool for location/stage recording with a laptop.

Sound:
Very good sounding D/A converter, excellent drive on (pro) headphones. A/D converters could be better.

Support:
As always.

Overall:
Have a nice DS2416 + AX44 combo since introduction. Bought UW500 for my laptop (and I'm very happy). Can someone offer me anything (in it's class, naturally) to beat these or even come close? Please note that these are using 20bit converters (yes, it's Sep. 2005)! I've already done 200+ mainstream music (mastering) projects in Iran with these beasts...

Finally, someone out there actually had the brains to make such an easy-using software with audio and MIDI interface. I've been playing the guitar for 5 years and gotten into recording with computers for two years. Now there's spmething where I can just plug it in and play professional sponding tracks backed up by MIDI tracks. It's awesome.
