Is it worth investigating the Focusrite Scarlett interfaces? I have read
here - a few weeks ago - that the 3rd generation is now supported on
Linux. But the 2nd generation is still listed in some stores. The
Scarlett 2i2 with two mic preamps +48V phantom power costs about 139EUR,
the solo - with just one mic preamp - is less than 100 EUR . I think
these smaller Scarletts used to be a favourite with RaspberryPis, as
well.

I don't know the latency, but many people speak very favourably about
them.

HTH.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
