Works very well. Used with iPad (lightning + power for the interface) and MacBook (usb powered). The microphone preamp seems better than on a Presonus 68c (I also actively use this interface on a Windows computer). The hi-z guitar input is very good. 48V selectable on each of the 2 individual inputs. Line inputs used with a synthesizer, everything works excellently. The software package is a bit more limited than other brands, but I didn't need anything, so it didn't matter. The level indicators on the display are very useful.
The markers on the gain and headphone potentiometers are not very visible. There aren't many specialized reviews on the internet, which makes people not choose this model much. The price is right at the upper limit (I got a B-Stock and it fit better in the budget) considering it's not a very promoted brand. I don't think I would have paid the full price for it.
