I purchased this item in order to connect my home theater Mac Mini (1.66 core duo, 2gb ram, 160gb hd +500gb firewire, 10.5.3) to my harman kardon receiver via optical cable. Drivers for OSX 10.5.3 are available free on the m-audio site and work flawlessly. The quality when set on 24bit sampling and using the optical cable is amazing, fully taking advantage of my 5.1 Bose cube speaker setup.

This thing does exactly what it's supposed to do. I bought it for my new iMac for add'l sound output options.

I even connected a stereo splitter so that sound goes to the local speakers ... Read More

Rating: - GREAT PRODUCT FOR THOSE USING MD
The M-AUDIO Transit USB device is probably one of the best things to ever happen to those still using Minidisc recorders, including myself, while trying to avoid the temptation to purchase the iPod or Zune. With this device, I have been able to access and record from I-Tunes, Windows Media Player, and Real Player. Though I have to record in "real time" as opposed to quickly burning or "dragging and dropping", it is still nice to be able to access more than one particular source for my Minidisc recorder with the Transit ...
