All I know is that they do work running off Windows WASAPI. The instructions say to install the drivers first before plugging in for the first time, so I can't comment on whether or not these will work without their custom drivers. Other output types worked as well such as Direct Out, but I haven't played with those too much. I found that I was able to use WASAPI for single output at 16/44.1k, although I occasionally had stability hiccups (granted, that was also when I was trying to run ASIO simultaneously on the secondary output, so that's my own fault. If you want to run dual output, you must use the ASIO driver (at 24/48k) and set the secondary pair with offset=2. No issues so far after a whole week, bouncing between two computers and continuously mucking with the settings. This was a refreshingly simply change from the hoops that the M-Audio drivers made me jump through. After that, just plug the Saffire in and give it 10 seconds to recognize the device and you're set. Speakers: M-Audio AV40, B&W DM11, Yamaha Stagepas 300ĭownloaded the 400kb driver from the website, installed, that was it.

The Emu 0404 (a forum favourite) was not in the running as it only had a single output. The main competitor I found in its price range was the M-Audio Fast Track Pro, but after painful driver issues I had with their Firewire Solo I decided to try the Focusrite instead.
