Sound Devices USB Pre

Has anybody used this little interface? Seems like a very cool little 2
track interface, but I know very little about it.

How does it sound? How are the drivers?

Thanks Charles- This is the kind of info I was looking for.

Have you ever used the pres for music work? I'm looking for an interface
for my laptop that I can use for my smaller gigs when I don't want to bring
the whole bit DAW rig out into the field. Much will be for my location
interview recording, but I'd also like to have the option of plugging my
stereo mic into it and doing my quick documentary 2 mic recordings using it.
Or going in on the line ins and using it as my backup recorder.
