Home > Gear > Computer Music > USB Audio Interfaces > Edirol UA20 USB Audio/MIDI Interface 24/44.1kHz

Feature:
No accessories
Quality:
Carryable and droppable
Value:
Really the most cost on the market effective for Midi and Audio in the same box.
Desirability:
Listening with Senn Headphones really really makes the sound sexy with topnotch VSTi's. They go far beyond the quality of original analog electronic equivalents. I even like the look of it because it matches the colur of laptop.
Sound:
The 24bit is clear and using the Optical output makes it very good for sending your signals to Edirol's own Digital monitors (the first of many i suspect). Never had any suggestion of noise like some other review.
Support:
They gave me a little support via e-mail and response came in two days from the UK
Overall:
I may get a Fire-wire or Pcmcia based card in the future but that is only because i am little suspicious that USB doesnot get the best out of a laptop. But the UA20 gets the best out of USB1 that's for sure.
