Selling my Focusrite Saffire LE, FireWire Audio Interface.
Selling for SG$ 150.- firm.
The unit is in good working condition.
Physical condition is as shown in the pictures below, basically free of defect.
Bought it from Sweetwater USA in July 2008 for US$ 249.99. With shipping cost, I spent more than SG$ 360.- for it.
Seldom used, and has been kept in plastic container since last year, since I upgraded to Steinberg UR824.
I use to cover all the I/O ports with plastic caps, to avoid dust.
Just tested it recently to play music and record from both of the mic inputs, all working fine.
One feature that I really like from this unit is the headphone output, that sounds clean and powerful. No problem driving low and high impedance headphones. The sound quality of the Saffire LE headphone output is better than my Steinberg UR824 headphone output.

Notes:
1. Saffire LE has inherent minor problem since it was new, and acknowledged by Focusrite technical support when I asked for their support in 2008. Since new, occasionally input port 1 might generate a kind of static noise. This problem is only occasionally happens when the +48VDC phantom power is turned OFF. Turning ON the +48VDC will stop the noise. So, generally I always use it with the phantom power turned ON.
2. Saffire LE is not a plug and play interface. The control panel might looks tricky to those who is not familiar with Focusrite interface. Therefore, please take some time to watch the setup tutorial here:

3. I give 1 week personal warranty. If the unit found not working properly, please return the unit, I will refund the money.
