The problem is that the standard came after the devices. Whats the point of a

I still don't get why you want to have 96kHz but only need a stereo-out. For
quality? Why then go with a small TRS output? And why go with a cheap usb
soundcard? The output amplifiers and dac will be cheap, which will drastically
reduce that "gained" quality of 96kHz. Probably it will reduce the quality
below that of a better-brand 48kHz device...
Have fun,

Yes, I'm aware of all this - except there being a USB2 audio standard
now? We're not really bothered about such a device having any inputs-
just would've been a nice addition. Seeing as we have the ability, we'd like to
record and mix @ 96Khz but
my band mates internal laptop sound chipset can't do any better than
48Khz hence he can't use it for mixing and he's looking out for
something that'd work well with ALSA thats guaranteed to be able to
run JACK (at least for playback) at 24-bit/ 96Khz.
I am not so sure you will get that many recommendations given that you
seem to need 96kHz.
The problem is that usb1.1 doesn't have enough bandwidth to do 96kHz, at
least not when there is two channels each for input and output.
And usb2 didn't have an audio-standard for a long time, so all devices
use their own protocol and therefor don't really have a linux-driver.
