What others are saying:
feature:
wish it didn't recognize scms, no coaxial i/o. anyway, who cares about these issues in the pro world?
quality:
oh... it's made in japan not china.
desirability:
uw500 is built to last. very practical tool for location/stage recording with a laptop.
sound:
very good sounding d/a converter, excellent drive on (pro) headphones. a/d converters could be better.
support:
as always.
overall:
have a nice ds2416 + ax44 combo since introduction. bought uw500 for my laptop (and i'm very happy). can someone offer me anything (in it's class, naturally) to beat these or even come close? please note that these are using 20bit converters (yes, it's sep. 2005)! i've already done 200+ mainstream music (mastering) projects in iran with these beasts...
