## Description

desertcart.com: ESI MAYA44 eX | 24-bit/96kHz PCIe Audio Interface with 4 in / 4 out | 4x4 PCIe audio interface with 24-bit/96kHz sound and +48V phantom power for recording, podcasting and streaming : Musical Instruments

Review: Fabulous sound, reliable product with one minor glitch - Seeing as this only has one review so far, and an undeserved 1-star at that, here's my take. The Maya22 is well worth the money and has great sound. Important for me is that I can easily hook up RCA cables for both recording and playback, avoiding those dinky little 3.5mm jacks so common otherwise. You do need two mono TRS-to-cinch adapters for the playback side, but that's not a big deal. The manual, alas is pretty sparse and could do a better job explaining the ESI software control panel - luckily it's mostly a straightforward affair anyway, and not hard to figure out. One glitch I've encountered is that sometimes, after waking my Windows 10 64-bit PC from sleep mode, there's no sound from the Maya22. Toggling the 'mute' button a couple times in the control panel brings it back right away - looks like a software bug, fortunately a harmless one. (I might otherwise have deducted one star, but the ESI is still close to perfect for my needs.) I have not encountered the constant static noise that was mentioned by the first reviewer. The Maya22 is dead silent unless asked to make sound. :)
Review: Great - Simple, clear crisp 2.2 stereo 4 computer. Paired with Klipsch speakers. Together, they ROCK!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Will Be Happy With This Unit !!!! Update Nov 2018
*by T***M on September 26, 2016*

This is one awesome little unit. I use it with my laptop. This unit gives great sound reproduction. I also use it to interface my TV, DVD recorder, Directv, makes it great to switch between inputs without having to unplug and replug to hear a particular piece of equipment (the main reason I do this is I use headphones all the time as I am hard of hearing, and I want to hear everything thru my laptop which I use as a desktop with extended monitor, keyboard, & mouse). I have a small preamp for my phonograph and it has an extra in and out which gives me an extra plug to the ESI unit. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and the drivers now work with Window 10 as well as previous versions of Windows. I live in the country and am very likely to get hit by lightning thru the power lines and I am afraid I might lose this unit so I am ordering another one tomorrow as a backup, as this has quickly become the heart of my system and I am afraid they may quit making these. Nov 2018, It has been 2 years since I last reviewed this product. It is still working awesome with my laptop/(desktop). Don't know what I would do without it. The second one I ordered still sits in the box. Never have needed to use it. I may give it away as a present. I do not think I will ever need it. Other than a power surge or some such thing, there is not much that can go wrong with this unit. I still continue to highly recommend this unit if you have need of a great sound card, but no room to put it inside of whatever type PC you are using.
