Hi Martin, How do you "add" a REG103-A? Do I need a deep knowledge of electronics, or would a soldering iron be enough? ;) I've got a UCA202 which causes a very audible, pulsating noise at multiples of 1 kHz while running Jack. If there's a way to fix it, I'd like to try. Of course the device was cheap, and as it is it's pretty much useless to me, so I'm not all too afraid of breaking it...
