I found this device while looking for anything comparable both in price an Sound Quality to the Mac-Only Apogee Duet and found this: TC ELECTRONIC Konnekt 24D or with less I/O Ports and without a DSP: the Konnekt 8D
Now the interesting part: My researches show that the Konnekt has a D/A Chip by AKM, the same brand they build into the EMU 0404 which is highly regarded in this forums.
The AKM in the Konnekt should be superiour to the EMU's since it is freshly developed.
Anybody own this device?

"Among the reasons for the audio quality are the converters and the mic/line preamps. The Dice II AD/DA converter in the Konnekt 8 (and the Konnekt 24D) is a new design developed by TC Electronic with Asahi Kasei Microsystems (AKM). This chip is harnessed with a jitter reduction and sync handling design called JET, which TC Electronic developed in-house for high end products such as the System 6000 reverb, the EQ Station and the DynaudioAcoustics AIR monitors."

I found out that the Konnekt Series faces serious driver issues (like dropouts) as described here:
