Focusrite’s Virtual Reference Monitoring (VRM) technology offers a speaker-style listening experience for people working on headphones, modelling the sound of high-end speakers in a professional studio as well as the less-than-ideal sonics of various typical end-user listening systems.

The entire installation of the converter box, VRM Box and software took me less than 10 minutes and it performed flawlessly right away.

Focusrite's new VRM Box is a DAW headphone stereo playback monitoring system that uses Virtual Reference Monitoring technology. About size of a small pillbox, the VRM Box is USB-powered with up to 24-bit/48kHz resolution over USB 2.0 and up to 192kHz when using the S/PDIF digital input. Its small footprint allows it to fit anywhere on your desktop--right next to your QWERTY keyboard for example. It fits into your laptop carrying case for use anywhere and has a smooth working volume control. Both USB and S/PDIF inputs make its use possible with any DAW even a Pro Tools HD system--already running with its own I/O.
If just headphone monitoring is all the VRM Box did, I'd be sold but I discovered a lot more after I installed the included VRM (ver 1.1) software. With the software running (and it's not required for basic operation), you'd be able to monitor your mixes as if playing over a wide selection of popular studio and home stereo speakers and in your choice of three different rooms. The three rooms are: a professional studio, bedroom studio and a typical sized living room. Some of the speakers modeled are: KRK's RP6 G2m, Genelec's 1031A, KRK VXT8, ADAM 2.5A, small and cheesy computer speakers, a pair of 'Japanese White Classics', flat-screen television speakers and many more.
I found the VRM Box extremely useful when mixing because it is a great way to get a 'different look' at my music's balance instantly. Furthermore, besides not having to own all these different speakers and amps, I can check my mixes on a laptop away from my Pro Tools HD rig in a consistent manner. I always use my Ultimate Ears in-ear reference monitors in the studio as well as on the road and now I can always hear the same virtual speakers and rooms by way of the VRM Box.
Without the VRM software running, I also tried my Shure SRH840 headphones and noticed a significant increase in quality as compared to just plugging into the headphone jack of the computer. The VRM Box sells for $124.99. Check: www.focusrite.com/products/vrm/vrm_box.
