User Reviews:
Feature:
Top ratings because it does what it is advertised to do; nothing more, nothing less.

Quality:
No wall-warts. This will stay in a rack in the studio. I cannot attest to its durability on the road, although I don’t know why anyone would take it with them.

Value:
For digital-only connections, you’ll get more features than the only other item in the price range, the ART DI/O.

Desirability:
Behringer products look … like Behringer products. Surprisingly, aesthetically much better than the older SRC2000. Of course, not even close to t.c. electronic in visual appeal, but it does what it is supposed to.

Sound:
Gain can be adjusted for analog, but cannot cut/boost for digital. If digital signal is high, a little distortion may be introduced. I don’t particularly find the “emphasis” all that useful, but your mileage may vary. It’s probably more intended for analog; I should read the manual.

Support:
Haven’t needed it, but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, I wish I didn’t have to pay internation postage for the registration card.

Overall:
I’ll use this until it burns out.
