@Duerr

does the ex 25 have two seperate stereo channels?

you mean ua-25

and I assume you're looking for a multiple channel output for the purpose of headphone cueing? that's the one thing ua-25 lacks at, I've had to learn how to use the visuals on Traktor (waveform on the deck, and level meters on mixer) to compensate for no headphone cueing. As soon as I can afford it I'm upgrading to a FA-101.

if you need headphone cueing one a usb2 interface, I'd recommend the edirol UA-101 which supports multiple audio channel outs.

cheers

I'm currently using the A8DJ and FA-101 with my macbook, they both work great.

I like my A8DJ, but i only use it in a bedroom studio - haven't used it on a large system yet... i like that my TTs connect directly to the unit with no need for a preamp.

Being the newest USB2.0 soundcard on the market, I'm assuming the NI Audio 4 has some pretty brand spanking new drivers that will work well on both Mac and PC. Anyone actually used one?

I just got one. It's small, solid, and sounds great.

You can buy expresscard -> firewire adapters that will give you macbook a couple firewire ports. You will still need to power your soundcard with a wallwart if you go this appraoch.

I personally use one in conjunction with a presonus firebox and i am happy with the latency, the quality of the sound and the build quality of the card.

"expresscard -> firewire"

i would use it.......but.... its also missing on the new 13" MB

yeshua - can you give more details? did you use it on large systems?

thanks!

I am using a MacbookPro 2.4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB Ram.

I can play at 44100 Hz with 4 ms latency.

I have not played on a large sound system, yet. Just my small home setup. But it still sounds fantastic.

Driver install took about 30 seconds and no other connectivity problems.

I am also using it through a powered usb hub.

And I picked it up through Musician's Friend for an extra 20% off!
