I own the mentioned device and have been using it with JACK and PipeWire for
a while now, mostly to drive multichannel setups. Haven't done much recording
with it, so I can't say much about the preamp quality.
Regarding the clock source part, I'm not sure because that's something I never
needed.
My general impression is that it runs stable and reliable, haven't had any problems so
far (after 5 years or so). Used it
at home (in my not-so-super-dry garage) and for 8-channel concerts, so it has been moved
around quite a bit.
I guess I'm one of the people who never had much trouble with Behringer devices. The
UCA202 works
like a charm, and on the several occasions I worked with X32s in their several flavors, it
was a
good all around experience (in fact, the latter one seems one of the only class-compliant
devices with
such a high channel count).
Best,
N

Hi list,
I am thinking of replacing my RME HDSP CardBus+Multiface after twenty
years
because it has never been really stable (firmware doesn't load reliably,
multiface is sometimes randomly detected as digiface, random I/O box
disconnects locking up jackd, etc.). This is sad because it is such a
great card. Now I am looking for similar specs with a class compliant
USB connection. I am trying to avoid Motu and the newer RME devices
because I would pay a lot for (DSP/Mixer) features that would remain
inaccessible for me from within Linux. It seems, and hesitate to say so,
that the Behringer UMC1820 is the closest to my needs. Has many I/Os and
most if not all of its settings should be configurable from the boxes
hardware controls. The only thing I am wondering about is how I can tell
the card to be a digital clock source or follower. Is this something
that can be set with alsamixer perhaps? Does anyone have the card and
can confirm and report on its reliability perhaps?
Thanks!
Peter
