I've told Echo about the web site problem. If you want an email address for someone in Echo technical support, PM me.

After much back and forth I decided to go for a AudioFire2.

I´ve just had it for a couple of days but it seems to be working just fine here on OSX. There are 2 issues though.

Latency is not as low as I expected from Echo. Buffer size 347 on a MBP 2.16 2gb ram.

It wont work when the computers awaken from sleep mode. Have to unplug it for a minute or 2.

Other than that its fine. Soundquality is very nice.

I can't remember the latency values for my Audiofire in OSX on a similar MBP but, yeah, they were higher than expected.

But they're lower in XP. And much lower if you use ASIO4ALL. So that's what I do...

Eh. Houston.... Now I have to jumpstart the device by plugging in the ac adapter to get it working after sleep mode. Restart, turning off the machine for a couple of minutes or unplugging it for a couple of minutes doesnt work anymore.

sorry if this is off topic but have a question for audiofire4 users. What options do you have for setting up a headphone cue mix?
