Has anyone test driven the Mackie ONYX 1640 with the firewire output card. I 'm putting together a mid priced studio setup based around a dual 2.5 G5 and Logic. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Gojinx,
I haven't personally used them but everyone I know that has one really likes them. This is what I know about them so far:
- They sound better by far than the older vlz mackie stuff. - The firewire output is pre-EQ and just about eveything else. This is good because when recording you want to take in the purest signal possible. You can probably eq better with a software eq than what the mackie can do. Plus, if you're in a live situation, you can EQ as necessary and you don't have to worry about screwing up your recorded signal. - The A/D converters on it are very respectable - The preamps on it are the best in the price range for that board
Overall, I think that they are well liked by everyone that has one. I think it's about time that someone came out with that kind of functionality at a good price.
