I apologize for cross posting. I asked this on Alsa-Users a couple of

might do this weekend I figured I'd try here also. Thanks in advance.
I'd like to pick up something to do simple mobile recording gigs with
my laptop. It needs to be USB 2.0 based, have 2 XLR inputs, support
headphone monitoring and preferably do 96KHz.
I wonder whether one of these would work (warning, Flash-intensive site):

Previous NI USB 2.0 devices have been supported for a while (using the ALSA
caiaq driver), though it sounds like these latest devices might actually be
USB2 class-compliant. One user reports (eventual) success with the Traktor
Audio 6, which as far as I can tell is the same device as the Komplete, but
without the preamps:

Has anyone heard more about these?
Thanks

On the surface I like this one but it's bus powered so until I
determine if my laptop will supply bus power I'll have to hang tight.
Also the street price is $50-$100 more than I wanted to pay. If anyone
knows anything about the quality of the pre's then I'd maybe go a bit
higher than the $200-$250 wanted to spend.
Thanks,
Mark
