Pros: What's there not to love about this device? This little USB sound card (not really card shaped... more like a device) puts out a premium high quality sound. I have this hooked up with a set of Cerwin-Vega XD3 speakers and a Acoustic Audio Cinema CS-PS65-C 6.5 sub and it sounds wonderful! There is controls for eq and crossover for the speakers and sub as well as controls for recording levels for microphone or line-in. You won't be disappointed. I don't have enough time to list every single thing I love about this device, but I can guarantee that you'll love it! Oh, yeah.... did I mention a 600ohm headphone amp??? SWEET!!
Cons: Just 2 VERY minor things that I don't like about this device. 1) You can't use the eq to shape the sound coming on a line-in signal. 2) In stereo mode, there is no separate control available for sub level and crossover frequency like there is in surround mode. Of course, I just used a 3.5mm Y adapter and I got exactly the sound I wanted anyway, so no worries!
Overall Review: Buy it! you'll love it. This device is also great if you want to get that extra something out of the sound of a favorite laptop..... Like headphones for gaming?? Check out the scout mode.... :-)
