I have — or rather, had — a U7. It’s a nice interface, worked well, save for one thing. I left it hooked up for a few hours one afternoon, and while I was off doing something else it apparently failed and tried to draw enough current that it fried a USB port and other goodies on my Mac. No clue why, but I relegated it to the “lessons learned” pile. Had to have the MacBook Pro logic board swapped out, which is no small thing.
