The Midiman has no hardware mixer. That's something I like on the SBlive,
but I can live without it.

All.

The Midiman cards have above all excellent sound quality. You can use
all important combinations of samplerate/resolution. You don't get any
effects, like the SBLive has, instead you get the pure sound without
noise and distortions.

And you get qualitiy connections to the outside analog world: RCA jacks
all over the place, no tiny jacks.
