I also really did want to buy the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB, but

unfortunately it does not seem to work. See these discussions:

As far as my research goes, similar devices are:

– Presonus Audiobox

– M-Audio Fast Track Pro

– M-Audio Mobile Pre MK II (it's in my list, but I can't remember if

it works as flawlessly as the others)

– Lexicon Alpha/Lambda/Omega Studio
They are all selling for 100-200€ in Germany (apart from the Lexicon

Alpha, which is smaller and cheaper).

There is also the Roland (or Cakewalk or Edirol) UA-25(EX), which

seems to be a favourite for many people, but it is discontinued and

disappeared out of the big German stores only some days ago.
I am not decided yet which device to buy. Is there one device, that

has clearly better (or worse) quality than the others? Especially in

regard to the mic preamps? I heard only good of the Focusrite preamps,

so I'm quite sad that it does not work. (Looking at the Focusrite

Saffire Pro 40 as well, but I need a small USB device first for use

with my laptop.)
