It's fuckin jumbonious, but it's a life-saver because it has a USB hub on the back. I've got my Maschine, MPK25, and USB turntable connected to the hub. From the 4 inputs, I've got stereo from my Mac's headphone jack and stereo from the turntable.
I'd still need all those features in something new, but hopefully something that comes with ProTools.

and I really like this thing. It like a much, much, better version of the MBox Pro series (2 & 3. I had the 2 and worked with the 3). I would much rather use firewire, but the usb 2.0 function has be nice so far.
