The main features of the MAYA44 USB+ include:
I work as a DJ and needed a quality soundcard for gigs. I had read many great things about this card, so I bought it.
The sound quality has been superb and many people have commented at gigs. The build quality is excellent also.
It may only have 4 in/out but in terms of value for money for this, its just great.
I have three of these and their audio quality is great. If you're wanting to uprate the audio quality of your laptop or PC so you can go straight into a mixer and not use the unreliable 3.5mm jacks, get one of these !
