Ploytec GmbH does USB Audio drivers (Windows and Mac) and hardware for digital audio via USB1.1, USB2.0 and USB3.0. They do reference designs and a couple of audio and MIDI related products. As a note aside, one of the best small adapters I encountered is cable-only (no idea which connector contains the actual converter: it's just one cable with a USB plug and a Midi plug), just one Midi connector (that autodetects whether it is in or out), named Terrasoniq Midi One and using a chip produced by Ploytec (which is a company. Terrasoniq presents MIDI Interfaces MIDI One.If you are on the lookout for midi equipment or computer hard- and software in general, then this may be a fitting choice.

I have used Terratec's EWS88MT (which is what this is) for more than ten ten years, it still works, and has never given me a problem, although once the 44-pin d-sub cable goes, it is virtually impossible to find a replacement.
The only 'upgrade' I could wish for would be two XLRs with phantom power for my condenser mikes, but I make do with a pre-amp.
Still the baddest little mother I have ever owned, and the cheapest one also. I have owned most of the competition.
