As for the USB, it is 1.1 so i shall correct that, in fact that simply clarifies this as an even better interface pushing all that audio at low latency using only USB 1.1, cheers Dave. I use this interface too in my home studio setup (it's only a small setup for now).

It's very well built, good sound quality, 2 headphone sockets (with separate volumes) and a cracking set of software included (some great FX - including filters etc from the SuperNova - and a version of Novation's Virtual BassStation). It does seem to draw a lot of power from the USB bus though (my laptop won't start with it in one of the USB slots - presumably 'cos it can't supply enough power to that slot). Also, I think the Nio is actually USB 1.1. rather than USB 2? I have this and I really rate it.
