Ok But a few issues.
It seems that if you just want a playback device this is pretty reasonable. Only slight confusion is that by default it is 2 channel. You have to go into settings to make it do 8.
For recording I would suggest it is pretty useless. For some reason there seems to be a DC offset which means that the level meters (I use audacity) on the computer show a standing level of around -40dB at best, depending how you set input gain. Given this is a 16 bit device you should be able to get 96dB of range. My soundblaster doesnt do this, so I am pretty sure it is the CSL.
If I remove this DC offset after recording there still only seems to be about 50dB between the noise and clipping.
I only bought this as a playback device, so not too bothered, but it would be nice if it did everything it purports to do.
