Does anyone got one of these, or know about it.
I'd loved to buy the FireFace 400, but too expensive.

Thankful for every response!

Can't be that bad, can it?

I guess from these kind of things I'm starting to learn better why it's such a tough job to create a Firewire interface your own ...
It should be the best interface, but it is also the most difficult I guess. yes

I bought a M-Audio Profire 610 to use as an interface with my laptop.

Although software and driver installed OK on my laptop, the sound was terrible.
After investigating the issue on the M-AUdio user board, and the answers provided, it became evident that M-AUdio Profire 610 set up to properly interface with Texas Instrument (TI) chipsets on the computer (laptop Vista 32 bit)) Firewire (FW) interface.
I asked Acer about the FW chipset on my Travelmate 8204 and was told the FW cahipset was some obscure Taiwanese kind.
I solved the issue by buying a SIIG FW 800 Expresscard/34 interface and now the sound is working OK.
I still have trouble with the SIIG FW 800 card not wanting to allow wireless communication, but this is less of an issue as I only install the card when litening to music, and I can then use wired RJ45 connection to my music library. I have also copied some of my favourite music to the hard drive of my laptop, so I do not need to worry about connecting to the music server all of the time.

One advantge of the Profire 610 is that it is a two-way unit - able to perform Digital to Analog (DA) for listening as well as Analag to Digital (AD) for recording LPs; both up to 192/24.

My main (floorstanding) PC (VISTA 64 bit) - used for recording LPs - has a M-Audio Delta 192 PCI card as music interface. I tried to install the M-Audio Profire 610 (64 bit) driver and that machine, but discovered that M-AUdio did not seem to allow both the Delta 192 (64 bit) driver and the Profire 610 FW driver (64 bit) to co-exist on the same machine.  Therefore I am using the digital SPDIF/RCA IN/OUT on the Profire 610  to interface with the M-Audio Delta 192 (PCI) SPDIF/RCA IN/OUT in my PC, which worksOK for me.
