A good feature is that it is completely USB > powered (without significant distortion). Indeed, even with the built-in phantom power it is. The Hi-Z switch is also very handy; and it has pretty good pre-amps. On top of that the device is very robust. All in all it's IMHO one of the best /cheap/ sound-cards. Compared to the UA-25 the UA-25 EX CW also includes an analog compressor. Given that it only has one knob (for the threshold), I doubt it's very useful. FWIW the limiter on the UA-25 is similarly useless. The new ground-Lift feature seems handy, though. > It works with no problems, and I did not even notice any problems with > 24bit mode and full duplex (at least the driver or jack are not > complaining).

It works with `jackd ... -r48000 -p64 -n3` ~4ms latency; `jdelay` reports 440 frames@48kSpS round-trip without x-runs. robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksHNKAACgkQeVUk8U+VK0Lj8wCgio3SrhafeF/UmOy+ySc2MXj2 wD8An26WbLD9GuwDOjpuB+eH00UZJTSn =iKEo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
