Cool. There will be many other happy Saffire users around the world in the coming months, as it's a decent interface for a fair price. I've just been standing on the periphery, stroking my chin and pondering its pros and cons for a while. I've come to the conclusion that a lot of what is pumped up on the Saffire box belies certain limitations in real-world use, which seems a little sneaky to me. Like you can't do that clever dry-signal recording business if you have anything connected to the S/PDIF inputs. I agree that saving space is good - full size rack units belong in recording studios, not home/project set ups. I'm rocking a cute pile of 1/3-rack devices these days, which is another reason why the Saffire disappointed me - that whole standalone thing. Each to his own, though. And it's streets ahead of the Mbox 2, so kudos to Focusrite for giving Digidesgn a good kick in the fanny!
