5.0 out of 5 stars Compatible with Windows 7 64-bit, January 5, 2010

This product is compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. Seems to be working fine for me. You do need to download the Windows 7 drivers from the Roland website (they are not included on the packaged CD) but it works great. I haven't put it through all its paces yet, but the setup was a breeze, the sound is crystal clear in both recording and playback, and I'm not getting any pops or dropouts.

I got this to replace my old Tascam US-122 because they weren't staying current with drivers and it was wonky under Vista and totally unusable under Windows 7, so Windows 7 compatibility was really important for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works right out of the box, November 3, 2008

I'm so pleased with this device, after 6 months of working with other audio interfaces and sound cards that offered subpar performance.

This device worked correctly upon the first attempt -- no need to adjust sample rates or ASIO buffers, and the recording quality and low latency is superb.

I'm using Windows XP (Media Center Home Edition) on an HP dv8000. Recording software: Cakewalk Home Studio 6 (with 6.2.2 support patch). I have not tried MIDI functionality, I'm all analog.

Happy recording!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeds expectations, December 24, 2009

Review from a very picky person: It worked right out of the box with Windows 7 x64, has crystal clear sound quality, feels like zero latency at 24-bit * 96KHz, it's built like a tank, ground lift if you need it, the connectors are high quality... Hi-Z for instruments, drivers are solid and reliable, good headphone amp, good Roland support... what else can you ask for? Plus it works fine as a primary Windows sound card even in games, I have it driving my powered monitors directly. Goodbye old trusty mixer, one more analog link out of my signal chain. Paired up with Reaper ($60 and awesome) and Studio Devil ($50 and awesome) it makes a great guitar rig too.
