Perfect for what I use it for. I wanted a product to replace my Mbox2, and this item is great. I also brought it for the loop back function so I can sample anything of my computer into my Native Instruments "Maschine". Haven't used the mic preamps yet, that was another feature that sold me on the product. Looking forward to using them.
Great little interface with good pre's and lots of useful features. Can also add 8 more inputs via adat. š

First of all, you need a Firewire 400 card with the Texas Instruments chipset. I use one by LaCie. I've never really used the DSP features of the Saffire, since I have plenty of effects in my DAW. The Mix Control software is kind of cryptic, so you have to read the manual and experiment. I got the Black Lion mods done, but I still was not satisfied with the quality of the preamps and I eventually bought an expensive outboard preamp, bypassing the Saffire's built-in preamps. I like the fact it has a Toslink ADAT in port and RCA S/PDIF in/out, which work fine if you can figure out the Mix Control software. I ended up getting an RME ADI2 outboard ADC and bypassing the Saffire ADCs and just using the Saffire to interface my ADC to my computer. For this one simple task, I think Firewire is kind of stupid. So I bought an ESI Audio USB U24XL for much cheaper that does that job without the expense of preamps and a Firewire card. And then I found out the U24XL had horrible latency on a hackentosh, so Iām back to using the Safire, which works great on both Mac and Windows images,Read full review

Great for 5.1 mixing. Meets my needs. Just install a firecard card in your PC and Saffires are way cheaper than Scarletts with the same features...

This is my second Saffire Pro 24 and I believe they are bullet-proof. This one arrived this morning...ahead of schedule.. and worked perfectly out of the box.
