 Stay away if your are running Windows 7 Jun 04, 2010
I purchased the M-Audio Transit based on a favorable review in Stereophile, and was initially pleased with the device as it definitely added depth and accuracy to my computer based media. The Transit worked well with Windows XP. However after migrating to Windows 7, the the Transit works for about 10 minutes before becoming seized with static; too much static to continue listening. It's not clear if this is a Microsoft problem or an M-Audio problem, but I can tell you after multiple attempts to contact M-Audio, they are completely AWOL on the technical support. It's impossible to reach a living being though their phones, leaving the poor dupes like me who buy M-Audio gear to search through M-Audio's online 'treasure trove' of missives and anecdotes from other users. I take my music very seriously. Evidently M-Audio doesn't. If you are considering a USB interface for your computer, my advice is to up the ante and go for the HRT Music Streamer or the Cambridge Audio DAC. More expensive, but serious audio equipment shouldn't act and feel like a toy.
Windows 7 support defective Apr 27, 2010
The hardware may very well be acceptable, but the claimed Windows 7 support for this device is defective. The install disc simply exists saying "your operating system is not supported" but the m-audio has a Windows 7 (64 bit) driver. However after an apparently successful install (after which the device manager claims the unit is connected and working properly) every attempt to send sound to the unit causes the source application to hang. After much trial and error, I found that the unit will work if you go into the control panel, click through numerous dialog boxes and reset the unit to "default" configuration. The M-audio supplied control panel has no effect. After every reboot, the device is inoperable again and the time consuming reset procedure must be repeated.
I don't know if the thing works better with other operating systems, but I'd advise anyone with Windows 7 to avoid this unit.
 Great Interface Apr 02, 2010
I bought this audio interface exclusively for the analog output because once I got a good set of speakers for my computer I realized how poor the quality of the on-bord audio was. I have used it in Windows and OSX and both operating systems were easy to set it up in and use the configuration utility, with OSX being slightly more efficient to use if you change settings a lot. I have had this interface for over 2 years now and it has never given me any problems with the software or the hardware. This interface has the sound quality of much higher end models but is more appropriate for personal computer use because of its size and price.
Does exactly what it says it does. Mar 24, 2010
Great upgrade from most factory sound cards! Gives you a choice of analog and digital inputs/outputs. I purchased this device because it is the most portable audio interface that works with Pro Tools (M-Powered) recording software, but have pretty much switched over from my on-board sound card for all of my music pleasure-listening on the road too because it sounds so much clearer! Wish they still made this; grab one while you can!

Great promise - awful driver support Mar 10, 2010
While the hardware specs on this device seem to serve a wide range of use cases (e.g. music production, audiophile listening on a laptop), the drivers make it rather annoying to use. The audio quality is quite good (when it is working), far better than any onboard audio system I've listened to. On multiple systems (vista 32-bit and windows 7 64-bit), one needs to go into the management utility, switch it into 16-bit mode, then run the audio test before any sound will play. Users need to repeat this process every time the system starts. This issue has been outstanding for quite a long time and support will give no ETA on a fix.
