Sound
If it doesn't hum or buzz in the rack, it's good. In this case, the only "sound" it needs to make is "silence."
Features
Chose this one over the others, because I wanted to the versatility to use it as a standalone patchbay if needed.
Quality
Solid. Edirol has a reputation for cheap consumer gear. This one should have been presented with the Roland trademark. It's not a toy.
Value
Even if the problem I mentioned above is a total bug, it's still worth the money.
Manufacturer Support
I waited to try to get support before reviewing it. Not good. I did get an automated response to my question, but it pointed me to a knowledge base article that had been removed, whose title didn't sound very promising anyway, and that's all.

Edirol UM880 8x8 USB MIDI Interface and Patcher Customer Review

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Overall, the best MIDI interface and patch on the market for the price. I only wish that Edirol made a model with a higher density of interfaces. I could really use a 16 in 16 out module.
Quality
Build quality is excellent. I have had it for 3 years and never had any problems with it and it is on all the time.
Value
Cheaper then most of the MOTU interfaces with the same amount of interfaces. Much much much easier to use then any of the MOTUs too!!!
Manufacturer Support
I have only called Edirol one time, and not for this unit. I call .. they answer, problem solved. I guess that would rate them a 10
The Wow Factor
I wouldn't do without it.

I will be satisfied with this product as long as midi instruments are around, ..but if they go firewire
Sound
well, ..it doesn't make any sound all by itself
Features
simple, powerful, intuitive
Quality
solid, attractive
Value
excellent price
Manufacturer Support
didn't need any - and that is the kind of support that i like
The Wow Factor
yes, it's good. i sold two MOTU MTP AVs the serial and the USB versions. With MOTU, I was spending more time troubleshooting things with their lame tech support, then making music. not so with this product! ..and MOTU, it wasn't my computer! my friend has a couple of Steinberg boxes and those are good as well, but they're more expensive, and don't have as many features as Edirol.
