This is what convinced me to order one!
I'm following the campaign very closely
Good luck guys!!

But not for Windows. Microsoft only provides USB 1.0 Audio class compliant driver (16bit, 44.1kHz). We don’t have Windows developers in the team (and don’t intend to have) and our worst nightmare is to start supporting Windows drivers, with all it’s versions, chaotic organization and kind of dodgy business model.

In our current kernel, version 3.4, it is Experimental, but on the newest mainline kernel, version 3.17, it is not Experimental anymore.

>>> If the campaign reaches U$100.000 the MOD Duo will offer an Audio Interface from it's USB connection. This means that when you plug the MOD Duo to your computer you will be presented with a 4 input audio device (two pre-processed + two post-processed) that can be used for recording the MOD's audio directly to your favorite software.

>>> Add this to the quality of our analog circuit and you'll have, as a free bonus, a professional grade audio interface that if bought alone would cost the price of a MOD Duo.
