This unit is the premier solution for mobile DJ's wanting vinyl emulation in software. The drivers are second to none and RME are well known as being one of the top sound card manufacturers in the world. In its price range nothing beats this unit. For audio production this unit absolutely shines. It takes alot of strain off your CPU allowing more effects and plugins within your DAW environment. The zero latency technology and jitter free clock really make a difference and the quality of production is really taken up a notch. Clicks, pops and crackles before the CPU reaches load are simply not apparent anymore. Top quality DACs and a noise free unit really make this product a joy to use. The latest drivers off the RME site mean that the unit is fully compatible with Vista and XP
