I'm using an UA-25 and it works plug and play, but having difficulties with my gf UA-20 which doesn't get recognized by alsa, unless it is switched in 16bit mode. I can run it at 11.6ms (5.8+5.8) full duplex without any xrun. Lower latencies work but I get some xrun every now and then. Anyway I doubt you can get a greater bandwith with usb 1 at 24bit. On jack you get 2 separate inputs and 2 outputs. I get some hiss when I turn it on. It is not in the recording, you can hear it coming from the interface itself, but it goes away after a minute or two, when components are warmed up. I successfully recorded with a phantom powered AKG3000b. Quality is awesome. I strongly suggest it if you need an usb solution. c. - www.cesaremarilungo.com Christoph Eckert wrote: >Hi, > > >I'm looking for a device, mainly to get better audio quality as my >Aureon offers (16Bits only), and to record some acoustic guitar and >mics. > >AFAIK the Edirol UA-25 works plug and play with snd_usb_audio, but still >some questions: > >* I read it is bus powered; but I wonder how can it get 48V phantom >power from the USB bus?!? > >* I read somewhere on the web that there was a little hiss on the >inputs.
