moin David,
I just recently acquired an Edirol UA-25 with which I'm quite happy (2 channel analog|digital audio I/O, MIDI). I've also heard good reports of the Terratec Phase 26 (are you out there Frank?), but have no experience with it myself. In general, I'd advise you to avoid M-Audio's USB audio devices under linux: I think the best that can be said for these is that "some of them work some of the time": my M-Audio Quattro is currently gathering dust in the closet ;-) If you can afford it, I think that the RME "Hammerfall" series is the Way To Go (note capitals)...
marmosets, Bryan

Hi, everyone.
I hesitated to post this question, because it seems like such an
obvious FAQ. I couldn't find the answer by searching around.My linux workstation has a crappy, noisy sound card. I want to
replace it with a higher quality device. Preferably outside the box
to avoid interference. I notice that several manufacturers offer
solutions, Creative, M-Audio, etc. Is any preferred by Pders?
Please discuss.I have a digidesign M-Box that I use with pro-tools on my mac. Of
course, it won't work with linux or, for that matter, with most
versions of Pd on OSX. I mention it to give an idea of the quality
level that I desire.Cheers, David
