I've been offered the loan of one of these. Does anyone know if it plays nicely
with Linux?
Is it plug-and-play, sacrifice a goat, or somewhere in between?

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Apparently it can be used with the generic USB ALSA driver:

I dont' know so much about this specific device, but i found this:

PS. i first i thought you were about to take a loan to buy one... i hope
this is not the case. I doubt anyone would want to have a debt because of
some device that do not operate as standalone.

I use a KA6. Works like a charm. Fully plug and play with alsa, all in/outs show in Jack,
most controls are hardware and the one which isn't (digital clock source) is
accessible in alsamixer.

It has also been confirmed to just work with a 3.7 kernel by one of our

As you have all said, no trouble at all to set up, just plug in and set the
connections in qjackctl. Sound seems very clean and noise-free.
I'm also very taken with the build. Nice and solid.

It appears that the round-trip distortion of the KA6 is around 0.01% with a S/N

You know, I reckon I can live with that!
I had looked at the 2i2 previously but was far from happy about possible
compatibility issues with Linux. Incidentally, it only claims 0.002% distortion
under ideal conditions. More real-world figures on their own website are very
similar to the KA6.

I owned the 2i2 as well. Good interface if you don't need a ton of
I/O, but also would just act weird sometimes. Especially when starting
JACK or when recovering from an xrun, the level meters around the gain
controls would flash a few times and audio would drop out. No such
issues with the KA6.

Nothing against the KA6, but I have had 0 compatibility issues with the
2i2 and am very happy with the audio quality.

Plug and play in my experience. No issues at all.
Plus, I love the big volume dial on the top. ;-)
