Now the device works as designed on the USB3 port on my laptop but still fails on the USB2 ports in the manner described

Quite a shame, otherwise great device but hard to overlook these two issues.

There was one driver failure, but I went to the Tascam site and downloaded the updates for firmware and drivers and after they were installed my device manager showed the US2X2 device properly installed and ready for action

It was a good device

This is a great device for bringing in high quality XLR microphones as well as musical instruments into a computer or tablet

This is a fantastic device made by Tascam.

So, in summary, this is a great little device that you can basically rent from tascam at $150 per year.

This is an easy device to setup and it works right out of the box

Due to the edgy DAC it's not my favorite device for iTunes playback or editing tracks--I mainly use it for recording--but, for the price, I'm a happy camper!Fall 2015 Update

This device would be great if it worked properly in a Win7 environment

you are going to use this as a portable device -- do note that there is no easy means to lock the device to prevent theft

All done and the device starts working like a charm

The new driver solves these issues and your left a very good good device for most situations.

Bottom line: with version 1.01, the device works great with Reaper but is still having problems with Sonar
