Do I have to include the usb cable with the purchase in order to get the best audio quality? Or does it work fine without it?

The audio worked ok for me using the included usb cable and I appreciated how flexible and light the cable was. I see no reason to buy another usb cable.

The USB cable that comes with it works fine for me. I am not sure if you want better quality of what you would get. I think it works GREAT. I have not used it a lot. The Times I have it has been great.

Nothing everything comes included, although you will need a microphone jack on your machine to make this particular version work, other wise look at the USB version which is more expensive.

Antony: this is an analog device, and does not include any cable. If you want to connect it to a computer you´ll need a sound card. If you want a performance grade microphone with USB conncectivity I suggest the Shure PG-27 USB Shure PG27-USB Multi Purpose Microphone Good luck

It's only usb to computer... However, I use my m-audio microphone as a separate audio interface which I have open on FL Studios synced up to a channel in a berhinger mixer while I have virtual Dj hooked up in the main input and running through the ASIO audio interface

Mine only has a USB cable. It's a great speaker ... I just bought a spare in case something ever happens to the one I use.

It works just fine with both Win 7 and Win 8.1... I will say that under either OS, if I leave the interface up, eventually the USB drops the connection with the PC and I have to power cycle the unit or unplug and plug back in the USB cable. There may be newer drivers which address this or it maybe configurations I can modify on my PC. But to your question, "how well does it work," I get smooth streaming sound when I'm working with it ... did you have specific requirements in mind?

I don't use the usb. You would have to get a usb 2 headphone cord 4 use with listening device if not using bluetooth.

You will need an external audio device with an XLR input and phantom power. This is a standard microphone with a standard XLR connector, no USB connection.

I have purchased it, to use it with my headphone and while this card is plugged in it's the sound card that outputs the signal.We also use it on a server at work. The server did not have a sound card on the motherboard(build in) nor and external car. This card gave sound to this PC.

Unit includes an amplifier and the amplifier draws its power from the USB, so it does require a USB connection. (Headphone jack does not provide power, only the sound.)

No it doesn't come with a usb cable. Didn't bother me cause I have several extras.

Yeah. In fact the support team it's pretty nice. Here is the link to the driver http://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB/downloadsBut you must be very careful and follow the instructions before doing anything.

No usb, like most mics youll have to provide a xlr cable and your own audio interface

When the USB is connected, it does not make a difference. A sound card is responsible for converting a digital signal to an analog signal (a DAC). Essentially the built in DAC is a built-in sound card. If you want to use a sound card, then you must connect the speakers via an analog source (RCA), so that the conversion is done in the sound card DAC as opposed to the speaker DAC, but from what I understand the speaker DAC is fairly high quality and should satisfy. This is another great feature of the speakers, since they don't rely on the sound card of a computer and will sound great regardless. When the USB is connected, it does not make a difference.

The Line-Out sounds is definitely better than the headphone sound. You don't need to use the USB cable, but without it your iDevice won't charge.

i'm running ubuntu and it works perfectly... nothing special needed to work... you may need to go to sound settings to make sure it's your default audio output.
