Mackie Onyx Satellite - anybody use it yet?

Just wondering if anybody has experience with Mackie Onyx Satellite yet.

2 Onyx preamps,
24/96k,
6 regular outputs + 2 additional L/R outputs for A/B'ing 2 sets of monitors.

I would be wary of the Mackie interfaces right now. They seem to have some problems delivering driver updates, especially for the 400f. If you find someplace with a good return policy, it certainly would be worthwhile to check it out. However, there's a long thread in the Mackie forums begging/demanding that driver updates be released.

Quite honestly, I think much of the computer gear out there (audio and otherwise) doesn't work all that well. I imagine it is difficult to get a piece of equipment to play well across a platform as varied as the PC.

To return to the subject...I, like you, think the Mackie stuff looks really cool. Unfortunately, a third party vendor seems to be able to write better drivers than Mackie for Mackie's gear. Tread cautiously.

Mackie really needs to get thier act together, and I would advise against buying anything from them until they do. They made a fantasic interface with the 400f. Infortunatelly, this 64bit internal processing audio interface has no support for 64bit operating systems and "disfuntional" funtionality with their current drivers. Their software development team is so lacking that the 1200f (which looks like I could be the best recording interface ever conceived for under $2000) has been delayed for over a year and a half. I have no doubt that they will work things out eventually, but they may need to do some house cleaning before this ever gets resolved. In the mean time, I think consumers need to push them by not buying their products.
