It is one of the few devices with independent volume control for 
line out and head phone which for me was an important feature.  
There are some nasty pops on power up/down otherwise I have been 
happy with it.

Tascam is not still not interested in supporting linux, right?

I had a UA-25EX at one point and it did not have separate volume 
control for line out and head phones. Switching between 48 kHz 
duplex and 96 kHz half-duplex made 96 kHz requires switching 
modes on the back of the device plus rebooting it.  It made 96 
kHz a non-usable feature to me.  The device I got was defective a 
well, and it took Roland a week I think to call me back.  By then 
I had to returned the my UA-25EX in favor of the Alesis iO|2.
