I own the mentioned device and have been using it with JACK and PipeWire for a while now, mostly to drive multichannel setups. Haven't done much recording with it, so I can't say much about the preamp quality. Regarding the clock source part, I'm not sure because that's something I never needed. My general impression is that it runs stable and reliable, haven't had any problems so far (after 5 years or so). Used it at home (in my not-so-super-dry garage) and for 8-channel concerts, so it has been moved around quite a bit. I guess I'm one of the people who never had much trouble with Behringer devices. The UCA202 works like a charm, and on the several occasions I worked with X32s in their several flavors, it was a good all around experience (in fact, the latter one seems one of the only class-compliant devices with such a high channel count).
