The line inputs are reasonable -- I imagine that they are fairly equivalent to the digital ears; the microphone, however, is incredibly lame: its frequency response curve closely resembles San Francisco. I've spent hours attempting to make filters that counteract the microphone coloration -- I came to the conclusion that I prefer a bullhorn. Still, if the Digital Ears are not working, and Singular Solutions will only deliver you a 64 times oversampling coffin, then I would buy the Ariel Microphone. It's $200 less than the digital ears, and the line inputs are satisfactory for this (me) computer music hoax unit. Christopher Penrose jesus!penrose
