Ah, so talking about boasting about it, Presonus has
an Audiobox USB
unit which boasts (to quote their website) "preamps that out perform any
USB-based interface hands down." None of the other manufacturers, as far
as I could see, even mentioned pre-amps except to say "yes, we have
them".
Is this just hubris? Does Presonus really have a good name for quality
pre-amps at 'all budget levels'? Should I be worried that this device
doesn't seem mentioned in the alsa wiki at all?
At least they quote an EIN figure: -115 dBu, which is
-117.2 dBV. Not really much to boast about, but providing
an honest figure gives them bonus points.
Compare this to
Aphex 1788A -125 dBu
RME Micstasy -127 dBu
Midas XL42 -129 dBu
Of course you pay for those...
