NotesWorks as standalone unit or with more advanced features when connected to a PC. Each of the line in/out plugs can be controlled individually. Remote control included. Fully working drivers and Software is available for up to Windows Vista, basic support for Windows 7 and higher. The 24bit/96kHz/100db labelling was a marketing stunt, later admitted by Creative. 16bit/48kHz/~90db are actual values.
