Using the NI Audio 4 for Production?

Hi guys, just wondering if this interface performs well with Live/Logic etc for production use. I'm currently using an M-audio Audiophile 2496 which I can get rid of if this will do the job.

I used the inputs of the audio4 to record a set and then play it back through the audio4 outputs. Sounds pretty good. I think the max is 24bit / 96khz

Only thing is.....if you start using long ass cables you might get interference since RCA cables are not balanced. I guess if you keep the cables under 6 - 10 ft ... it will stay pretty clean.

Works great for production, don't recommend for mixes. As stated above interference runs pretty rampant when using these boxes. Haven't figured out why, maybe it being usb?

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to test the Audio 4 on my own setup and see if I get much feedback. I did notice a ground on the back of the Audio 4 which is for grounding turntables but I have a trick that's worked in the past with two mixers..
One of the mixers was picking up some feedback so I tried grounding the two mixers to each other and it fixed the problem.
I'm wondering if this will work with the Audio 4 and an external mixer.
Maybe one of you could give it a try..:)
