I bought this for playback, rather than recording. E-MU (a subsidiary of Creative) hasn't bothered to update the drivers for the 0202 USB in nearly three years. Needless to say, the drivers haven't been updated for Windows 7, and are around 60mb. They take forever to download because the E-MU website crawls. On my laptop (a Sony Vaio), I experienced the DPC latency issue others have described below: no matter how much I twiddled with the configuration, I kept getting pops and crackles. I also had to turn the device on, off, and back on after plugging it in for it to work. Maybe it works wonderfully on Macs and older versions of Windows, but I doubt it. If you're looking for a good USB DAC at this prince range, consider the Nuforce uDAC.
