Rating: - Awesome well-made Firewire Interface!
Amazingly simple and well put together product. Im using this on a Intel Mac and it is the best ive seen. i did not need to install anything. Its basically plug and play if you know what you are doing. I put this off forever, and now Im so glad i got this. I should have bought it 2 years ago. Does exactly what it says it will do and the firewire connection means zero latency. The price is very fair considering what other choices are out there. I really like M-Audio as a company.

Rating: - Great value.
I'm very impressed. A lot of features and flexibility packed into a small and inexpensive package.
I installed it on a WinXP(SP2) machine which had Adobe Audition on it, and the M-Audio drivers and software were fully integrated into Audition automatically. Very slick. Made some nice home-studio recordings within an hour of opening the box.

Rating: - I guess this is a great item if you still have a PowerPC Mac.
Unfortunately, I have an Intel Mac. I researched this item extensively prior to purchase and nowhere does it tell you that it has trouble with Intel Macs. The only driver on the M-Audio site is from early 2006 and does not support Tiger 10.4.11 which is what I am running. I installed the CD-ROM that came in the box, but the unit would not show as being hooked up to my Mac and I could not use any of my Pro Audio programs with it. I couldn't even open the M-Audio control panel on my computer. I then went ... Read More
Rating: - Watch out for Macintosh Drivers
Each day I have to reboot my machine because the audio outputs either stop working or start to pick up a lot of noise/static. Searching around the internet seems to indicate M-Audio drivers for OS X are not to be held in high regard.
If you havea Mac, I would think twice about buying M-Audio audio interfaces. (For the record, I have OS X 10.4.11).
