Customer Rating:
Summary: Works well with Mac OS X
Comment: This unit has excellent audio quality. I am an audiophile and the quality of sound is very important to me. For the price, I'm amazed at the output quality. I have had no problems with audio delay as some other reviewers have had. The only negative I have for this product is that the headphone output volume is a little lower than I would like. Otherwise, an excellent product for the price.

Summary: Works as Intended
Comment: I use this only for listening to music while at work. I bought the EMU to replace an M-audio external USB audio card. I was forced to replace because I upgraded my work machine to Win XP 64 bit and M-audio has NOTHING for drivers for Win XP 64. The EMU drivers work without problem. I hear no background noise from the unit and have had no latency problems. Audio quality is pretty good (I use Sennheiser HD600 headphones). The volume can't get as loud as the M-audio, but that worked off AC power while this is only the USB line voltage. For my application, I can't think of any complaints.

Summary: DPC latency!
Comment: I bought this device to complement my very nice HD595 headphones but like one of the previous reviewers mentioned I received a whole lot of crackles and pops. I did some research and concluded that it was my Dell Laptops high DPC latency that was really responsible for the poor output and as a result I am now using it with my desktop.
With my desktop I get clear highs, a punchy bass and a crispness that has brought a big smile to my face :).

Summary: not bad, but no joy with a vista laptop
Comment: I originally bought this because I wanted to use my Dell XPS laptop (running vista) as a DAW, and the dell came with such a lousy soundcard that I bought this in hopes that it would suffice. Sadly, after a bunch of effort, I finally concluded that I just couldn't make it work.
I updated the firmware, got the latest drivers, installed and re-installed them, tried using this with different software packages, nothing worked well. The main problem is that I'd always get a lot of "crackle" no matter what I set the buffer to, and there were a lot of machine-lockups that were associated with this interface.
Anyhow, I've since connected it to my desktop machine (running XP) and it has worked pretty well in that capacity.
One easily overlooked aspect of this device though is the notable software that comes bundled with it. "Light" versions of Cubase, Ableton, Melodyne, and a few others. This might be reason enough to buy this interface for some people. Say for example that you are planning to buy Cubase and Melodyne. By installing those "light" versions, and doing an "upgrade" from those will save you $100 on *each* program. That more than pays for the cost of this interface right there... something to keep in mind.

Especially you hear the lossless sound file.
It also reduce the backgound noise for my NB.
