[Audio~Geek]

I'm an M-Audio dealer, I haven't seen any problems with these in the year they've been available.
I have used it, not for recording but just in the store for demos and stuff.
The preamps are the same as in my interface, the Profire 2626, though possibly with lesser quality converters. Different converters are a barely audible difference anyway.
I also like that its portable, it can be bus powered and run as a USB 1.0 device giving you 2x2 I/O. That's a pretty unique feature.
I haven't had any problems with the drivers. Those complaints may be due to other computer problems anyway.
I don't like that it's made of plastic, but it makes it lighter and cheaper.
