I'm using an UA-25 and it works plug and play, but having difficulties
with my gf UA-20 which doesn't get recognized by alsa, unless it is
switched in 16bit mode.
I can run it at 11.6ms (5.8+5.8) full duplex without any xrun. Lower
latencies work but I get some xrun every now and then. Anyway I doubt
you can get a greater bandwith with usb 1 at 24bit.
On jack you get 2 separate inputs and 2 outputs.
I get some hiss when I turn it on. It is not in the recording, you can
hear it coming from the interface itself, but it goes away after a
minute or two, when components are warmed up.
I successfully recorded with a phantom powered AKG3000b. Quality is awesome.
I strongly suggest it if you need an usb solution.

Hi,
I'm looking for a device, mainly to get better audio quality as my
Aureon offers (16Bits only), and to record some acoustic guitar and
mics.
AFAIK the Edirol UA-25 works plug and play with snd_usb_audio, but still
some questions:
* I read it is bus powered; but I wonder how can it get 48V phantom
power from the USB bus?!?
* I read somewhere on the web that there was a little hiss on the
inputs. Can anyone confirm this, and is it OK or too much?
* Can I use both outputs at the same time to connect all of them to
different destinations? Do they appear in ALSA/JACK as 2 or 4 different
ports?
* Last but not least: Does it run at full duplex (2 ins and outs at the
same time), and what latency can it provide (the lower the better :) ?
Best regards
