I just don't trust the mLan drivers from Yamaha. I guess I have a bad taste for it because of the Firestation. Great unit and many people still use it with RME stuff via ADAT. The biggest problem with the unit was the firewire driver which Presonus outsourced to Yamaha.
I know I'm supposed to like Yamaha since I use Cubase SX, but I just don't trust the mlan stuff.
But, that is the great thing about forums, each is entitled to his own opinion, and I am utterly happy with my Firepod, and Firebox.
I will say though, the biggest drawback to both units is no ADAT I/O's, but I love how portable and well made the Firebox is.
