Too bad it doesn't work with their Symphony Expresscard!
Same converters as the ensemble though... groovy.

my ultralite is working perfectly fine, but that duet looks tempting... very very tempting.

I was trying to decide between this and the TC Electronic Konnekt Live. I went with the Konnekt because it has:
1. separate cuemix output (duet only has 1 stereo output so you must use your laptop's built-in audio for your cuemix. Boo!)
2. three nice internal DSP powered plugins
3. more I/O but still small portable size
4. phono input jack (no mixer or phono preamp needed for turntable)
5. no breakout cable
6. gripped surface to rest laptop on top of
7. midi

Is sound quality the main selling point here? How about Latency? It's a little pricey for little features.

No soundquality is not the only selling point!
Apogee is known for having very low latency 2ms and up depending on your system.
It is compatible with Mac OS X Core Audio so no drivers needed, just works right off.

Cool cause I was very much considering this. I'm still a little confused though on sound quality when you are only using internal instruments. Does it make the sound more "true"?

I picked one up today. Will test it tonight, and post later on what I find!
It's a sweet, solidly built little unit!!

Everybody who has tested an Apogee soundcard is more than happy, take a look at the
http://www.apogeedigital.com/ what the users say about it and other soundcards from Apogee.
I think Apogee has the best soundcards (soundquality,Latency and stability) available and Metric Halo Mobile is very good also.

I would be very interested in any latency figures (sample rate, buffer size, latency in ms) you guys have available from the Duet. I'm considering purchasing one but may wait for the RME Expresscard, latency is a big factor for me. Thanks!
