I use an EchoAudio Audiofire 12. It has 12 in / 12 out TRS inputs and amazing sound quality. Echo is very FFADO friendly and supports the OSS community. I just looked at the prices on-line and the AF12 is only listed at US$100 more than the FastTrack Ultra. FWIW, I found mine on Craigslist for $300. I've never had a digital piece of hardware work so flawlessly for so long, it's really quite unreal how perfect it is. p.s. It's firewire and it looks like you want USB, so whatever. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
