Both applications work well and the sound quality seems to be identical between them.
Firefly has limited features but it is well polished and looks nice. It gives the impression that it is easy to use so would be a good choice for users who are not very computer literate. Diax has more features such as being able to alter the headset volume during the call without having to go to the volume control setting in the mixer. It has the option to play the ringing tone out of a different sound source than the normal volume which is great if you use a bluetooth headset as you can set the speakers to ring and not wear the headset all the time. It is only really the address book that I dont like in Diax. You have buttons you can program but to search for a contact you have to open the address book. Firefly has an expanding list which is a lot simpler. If you have loads of contacts the Firefly approach will probably become limiting. Firefly does not allow you to enter the users name so all CLID is set to the number only. Diax allows you to specifically set the CLID name and number which is better. Diax supports showing the number of new and old voicemail messages although I have not managed to get that working yet. Diax supports 8 connections so you can switch between them easily and choose which system you wish to make the call over. Diax also has AGC support which enables me to leave the 'mic boost' turned off and still get acceptible microphone volume. This reduces the background noise picked up by the mic. In conclusion therefore I think Diax is the much better application and it is only its addressbook and the not so intuitive GUI for non computer literate users that lets it down compared to Firefly.
