Oh No! - I had a Maui once - 7 months ago - and I'm sorry Turtle Beach but
it was honestly totally and utterly Crap! I already had a SCC1 so I could
compare the two cards running simultaneously switching between them
(playing the same midi track) on the amp. Ok, I bought the Maui to use the
sample-store feature (making instruments out of samples) but believe me,
you don't want to hear the Maui! God! The sounds sounded muffled, as if
coming from behind a pillow, and was just very low quality. It may have
been from a bad batch but I didn't think so (although the waveblaster
upgrade pins were missing from the board!) I think the design was simply
flawed. The sound card I use now - AWE32 is much better than the Maui,
quality wise, and in fact, 'everything else' wise as well! I'm referring
to supplied documentation and software. But, then the Maui never did catch
on so I was glad to see the back of that card only a few days after trying
it out. (I sold it to someone who had never heard the SCC1). Well, that's
what I think about the Maui. It disgusts me! :-(*)
