The product all in one: I / O symmetric optical I / O, RCA outputs, Midi, monitoring mono XLR input.
all for one price.
Usage: computer music with Reason on the PC, some taken his microphone. (Phantom power supply in case one day I invest in a microphone)
Config: Dell Inspiron 9200, centrino 2Ghz, 1GB RAM
A Roland D20 I use as a midi keyboard + Evolution UC33
UTILIZATION
Install without any problems. It's not the usb 2 because I also used an old portable USB 1 (Pentium II 300 Mhz, 192MB and it works! To watch a movie ... only of course
)
No compatibility problem, almost non-existent config (apart from the choice of sampling freq). Driver a little stingy when compared to the possibilities of an m-audio driver
Was a manual?
A little annoying to have to disconnect to change freq sampling ...
GETTING STARTED
No problem driver and when it works better not change.
I use Reason and Sound Forge essentially. 9ms latency in Reason, for it goes up against with Rebirth to 25ms
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a month. I bought it because I had crackling in my monitor ... I hum coming from the trainer on the forums to find the AF economic solution is to forget the earth for my laptop, but hey I'm sorry I have not a "real" sound card.
on the other hand where I was really disappointed is when I preview that you could not cut the sound output without cutting the headphone output: the coup that I had to hack through an external amplifier to to mute the monitors when I record the microphone: no top at all. My next card will have a separate adjustment of the overall output level and the headphone. Otherwise the function is useful for single monitor in mono microphone 2 ears of the headphone.
Sound quality is no problem, obviously, there's no wind, unless you push the volumes of admission to the bottom, where it hisses slightly.
It's still an amateur card, maybe a bit expensive as a result, and to be completed by a small table to manage the sound output and headphones independently.
I do not have that choice would do, but I do not regret either. Hmm not sure it helps that

On 19/03/2007: SAV back under warranty. I got tired of whistling to the recording (peak to 13000Hz) and global, in fact, from the lighting of the card, the electronic whistle. After contact with Edirol (fast and serious) they told me it was a known problem (and solved on old today) and need repair. Back then, in Playback (my provider), then wait (long: 2 months). I just started to say that I found Playback waiting a bit long and the next day they sent me backing me answer a new UA25 their own stock, and that I wanted to say here: super happy with the SAV backing for the coup. Okay, verdict: If I had known, it's 18 months I should return it. No more hiss, even input amp cranked. I'm happy!
