Was a cool interface till I switched my laptop
This interface has really cool features and software. It worked well on my 2011 Mac Book Pro. As is switched over to a PC laptop, I could not find any adapter to connect it to it. It also appears that there is a loose contact ant one of the inputs. I like the connectivity. Especially the two headphone outputs with separate volume control come in handy. The light pipe connector allows to extend this interface with a pre amp. I used a Presonus DigiMax 8 with it.

Good for price
That is a good interface for its price. I am not happy with the firewire latency and looking for a thunderbolt interface but other than this issue this is a very sufficient audio interface for this price range. 2 headphone preamps really great. Instrument preamps have pretty good headroom and satisfying. Not the best but definately is a good choice.

Very good, but there are always better options available
Sound quality is crisp though and there's almost nihil latency! The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is great for personal use, but as soon as you need to perform live with multiple mic's attached, there might not be enough outputs for you to split the signal into a PA system. Personally, I think the default routing in MixControl is also quite silly, but maybe that's just me. Also, the power supply cable is very short.
