I tried an UA-25EX which lacks separate volume control for output and 
headphones.  My sample was also defective.  Lexicon Omega also does not 
have separate output and headphone volume control so it did not work out 
for me, but if you can live with the plastic case it sounded pretty good 
to me.  The other two devices that I considered was a TAPCO Link.USB and 
Alesis iO|2.  Mackie which builds the TAPCO device had quality problems 
at the time, as in not shipping products, so I ended up with the iO|2 by 
process of elimination.  The iO|2 sounds ok, but the loud pops on power 
on/off does not exactly inspire confidence in the product.  The form 
factor is a bit strange with some input connectors on the top of the 
device.
