 Tranist USB small device, big results February 6, 2005

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Transit USB helped me achieve the goal of getting digital pastrhough from my powerbook to reciever. The deivce does a great job of passing DTS and Dolby signals directly through the optical port. The tricky part is setting up the device, the manual is lacking in many areas. Also, rather than use the drivers that ship with the device download the newest one from M-audio. The driver that shipped with mine was over a year old, and did not fully support OS X 10.3.7. Also the manual fails to mention that the Transit USB device creates it own settings icon under OS X, rather than adjust the device through the "sound" or "audio MIDI" control panels, use the "transit" control panel. Overall the sound quality has been great, very crisp, no added static and the digital pass through has worked great. Just don't foget to change the Apple DVD player to "Digital output" from "system sound" to take advantage of the DTS and Dolby signals. Overall a great device to allow digital audio output from a Mac

Everyone who wants digital audio on his Macintosh is best served with this device. I tried a lot of solutions when I wrote an article about audio devices for DVD playback for Macworld Germany, and Transit is definitely the best of them, specially if someone wants to connect his Mac (PowerBook, iMac, everything with USB ports) with an amplifier that has optical digital input. I use transit now for month and so far had never problems on my Flatpanel iMac.
An up to date review June 28, 2008

I purchased this item in order to connect my home theater Mac Mini (1.66 core duo, 2gb ram, 160gb hd +500gb firewire, 10.5.3) to my harman kardon receiver via optical cable. Drivers for OSX 10.5.3 are available free on the m-audio site and work flawlessly. The quality when set on 24bit sampling and using the optical cable is amazing, fully taking advantage of my 5.1 Bose cube speaker setup.
Bottom line, don't listen to the old reviews from 4 years ago, OS X compatibility has greatly improved and this item is well worth the money.
Great sound for CD, MP3 playback. December 17, 2007

I have used the Transit for the past two years with 3 different notebooks (Dell, Gateway, Mac Book Pro) and numerous desktops. Granted, the driver can be a pain to install, and does not work at all in Vista (see below), but once it's working, it has proven stable for my use. I use it solely for audio playback through home stereo systems and also with an ElectroVoice PA system. I have not tried it for recording (I have other M-Audio gear for that). The sound that comes out of this little device is amazing - very dynamic and clear - and similar to other M-Audio cards. I used it at an outdoor party last summer with my EV PA system and received several favorable comments like, that sounds like it's a "live" performance. I like the Transit so much that I am ordering another one. The one caveat I have is that I have not been able to get it to work with Windows Vista (blue screen of death and no audio output on an HP notebook). This driver is still in beta and has been for the past 6 months (come on M-Audio). So, save yourself the headache if you are running Vista. But if you have XP or a Mac, and you want a big upgrade in quality from your internal sound card, I highly reccomend this for playback of MP3s and CDs. Note: it does not drive headphones directly without an external amp.
High Quality Soundcard December 21, 2007
Mr. Bruce R. Freund (Springfield, VA USA)
Have used the Transit in place of the built-in laptop soundcard to provide high quality audio for amateur radio digital modes. Easy plug-'n-play installation. Using two with desktop computer to interface to multiple radios. Windows XP works comfortably with multiple Transits. Completely trouble-free use and performance - a joy after stumbling along with low quality laptop soundcard!
