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...
Sound
Very good sounding D/A converter, excellent drive on (pro) headphones. A/D converters could be better.
Features
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.
Manufacturer Support
As always.
The Wow Factor
UW500 is built to last. Very practical tool for location/stage recording with a laptop.
