Feature:
They pretty much tried to think of everything. The only thing I wish it had was a bunch of TDIF ports so you can acutally run offboard converters at 192kHz.
Quality:
Very well built.
Value:
It's expensive, but I wasted so much time playing with that stupid MOTU during sessions trying to get it to work right... Worth it.
Desirability:
Not real sexy looking (ala motu, etc). But who cares.
Sound:
Has AKM converters, which are really the high-end standard now. Not sure how I feel about the onboard preamps, but they'll do for anything non-critical.
Support:
No experience
Overall:
I recommend this product.
