 An up to date review June 28, 2008

I purchased this item in order to connect my home theater Mac Mini (1.66 core duo, 2gb ram, 160gb hd +500gb firewire, 10.5.3) to my harman kardon receiver via optical cable. Drivers for OSX 10.5.3 are available free on the m-audio site and work flawlessly. The quality when set on 24bit sampling and using the optical cable is amazing, fully taking advantage of my 5.1 Bose cube speaker setup.
Bottom line, don't listen to the old reviews from 4 years ago, OS X compatibility has greatly improved and this item is well worth the money.
Great Product April 18, 2008

This thing does exactly what it's supposed to do. I bought it for my new iMac for add'l sound output options. The problem with a Mac is that it only has one sound output, and when you connect a cable to it you lose the onboard speakers. So I use the built-in digital audio on the Mac for AC3 passthrough to my stereo receiver (for watching DVDs), then I have this thing connected separately to a set of computer speakers on my desk. I even connected a stereo splitter so that sound goes to the local speakers AND goes to the stereo input of the receiver so that I can pipe music over zone 2 to some outdoor speakers (that won't work w/just the digital input). The moral of the story: it works perfectly and was well worth the $$$.
 Unreliable: Stuttering Audio April 1, 2008

As a radio broadcaster, I've had to dump this unreliable product. In XP, on a 1.99 GHz laptop with a gig of memory, Transit's recordings are frequently flawed by stuttering and what sounds like the product's inability to keep up while writing line input content.
Sections of a recording will skip madly, missing bytes, then clear up. Other times, the recordings are damaged to the end of the file, the unit cannot recover -- even through periods of silence. Capturing live content where no retakes are possible is a complete gamble.
I can only assume this is a fatal hardware flaw. Nothing on M-Audio's web site addresses the issue ehich others have mentioned here, and an hour on hold for each attempt to talk to tech support uses up any cost-effective attempt at a solution. We've thoroughly field-tested the M-Audio Transit, and it's failed.

I wish I would have been advised to get an optical chord with this. I'm new to the industry and it was not pleasant to find out I was missing this and that with my setup. But the product is alright.
GREAT PRODUCT FOR THOSE USING MD December 22, 2007
JON STRICKLAND (Smithfield, NC United States)
The M-AUDIO Transit USB device is probably one of the best things to ever happen to those still using Minidisc recorders, including myself, while trying to avoid the temptation to purchase the iPod or Zune. With this device, I have been able to access and record from I-Tunes, Windows Media Player, and Real Player. Though I have to record in "real time" as opposed to quickly burning or "dragging and dropping", it is still nice to be able to access more than one particular source for my Minidisc recorder with the Transit USB.
I can understand any comments made regarding the occasional "popping sounds" during recording and playback. For me, this did sometimes occur when I was using Windows XP. Since then, I have downloaded the Beta Driver for Windows Vista into my new computer equipped with the Windows Vista software, and none of the mentioned problem has occurred again.
I will admit that loading up the software and having the M-Audio device configured into my computers is not so easy as 1-2-3. How I wish it was; in fact, I ended up learning a lot more about a computer's control panel, especially with the audio device and video game controller sections.
All in all, this is a great item once you have the initial setup squared away; and again, this one of the best products for those who have Minidisc recorders in specific or recorders of the non-iPod variety in general.
