There are a few things about the FA-66 that really set it apart from other cards in its class. One is the analog limiter. Since the limiter is before the d/a conversion in the signal path, there is an extra layer of protection against peaking signals while recording. This is especially useful when the card is being used in a mobile situation where an external limiter is not available. The response is quite soft, so don’t expect it to attenuate point blank gunfire, but for vocals and speech it is quite effective. Another useful feature of the Edirol card which I have not seen in other cards is a ground connection. I haven’t had to use this but if you really want to ground the card for some reason, you can. The second TRS input also features a hi-z option, which is useful for guitar recording.

I am very pleased with the FA-66 even using my current version of Sonar. Recording sounded great and worked fine. I'm going to purchase another one in the near future.

The built-in preamps sound good for a card of this class. They are clean and flat and the noise floor is very acceptable, with little hiss except at the highest volumes. There is nothing really remarkable about the preamps, but they do work well, and I have had no problems with the various mics I have used with it. For a mobile solution, they are quite satisfactory. The sensitivity is quite a bit better than cheaper USB based external sound cards with built in pre amps I have used.
