Bought it non Conrad shop in Germany, it looks the same as this one for example: http://www.usbgear.com/USBG-SV5.html There are also a lot of user reports about various USB audio dongles working: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/audio/cheap_mac_USB_audio_cards.html So I'd say that pretty much anything you get should work - they are all using generic controllers nowadays anyway. Hope it helps!
