I don't know if you can use it on an iMac but I surely can recommend MOTU 828 it self.
I am so happy that I decided to buy it a year and a half ago. I have had no problems with it and the sound is amazing   "What's it all about, Alfie..."

Depends on which model. The original 828 only allows you to monitor 1 mono channel or 2 stereo channels. So, if you are recording on one of the mic inputs, you can't, through the 828, also hear/monitor any of the other channels without going through the computer and then you have latency issues.....
This is not an issues with the new 828mkII My 828 setup I pretty much route other sources through a mixer and have the preouts go to the 828. Works really well. I'd still like to get a newer 828 for recording at 96khz..........;-) -------------------- It's either on a beat or off a beat.........it's that easy

thanks for that bit of info eric-
i've been considering a mk1 828 for a while now because i'm stuck unable to use my 2408mk1 as a result of htose flakey osx drivers. but i also wanted to be able to use it for laptop performance and i'm wondering now if the limited monitoring might get in the way. good to know what the pros and cons are at least- even though i can't afford a mk2 =( -------------------- Kit: Dual Ghz G4, Vaio 2.6ghz GRV670 notebook. Software: Reaktor, Reason, Ableton Live. Leanings: Laptop performance, jazz guitar, singing.
