"Poor Firewire recording device."

This is a follow up. Do not buy this devixe if it mainly used for recording. You will be disappointed. it is flat, lifeless, 1-dimensional at best. It is sad as tis is a great "listening" device. As a firewire recording device I would look at the M-Audio line of Firewire devices.
I know this device is only $80, but I have 10 year old sound cards that record way better than this. As a heradphone amp it is fine.
Value
Rate it a 9 for listening
