I must say I'm surprised at all the frustration with the iMic, and suspect that it's really frustration with various Mac configuration problems. I have a old Mac running 10.2.8 with a Sonnet G4/450 card, and use both the iMic and a PCI Audiophile 2496 card. At 16-bit/44.1K, the input quality is indistinguishable for all practical purposes. (Of course the 2496 is more flexible, has S/PDIF in and out, 24-bit sampling, etc.) The iMic actually seems _less_ sensitive to electrical noise than the 2496---which is to be expected, since the latter is a card on the PCI bus. I usually use the iMic further isolated from the machine by a Griffin USB Audio Hub (I suspect that any powered hub would do), but it also works okay straight in to my USB card. I've used it with DP4, Peak LE and DV, Spark, and various other programs. THey've all recognized it just fine. The only poor product I've seen from Griffin is their "Final Vinyl" program, and even that works. (It doesn't seem to be actively marketed any more.)
I have nothing to do with Griffin, but do think that their product is getting a bad rap here.
