OMG. Thanks for keeping me up to date.

just for the record: They're cheaper elsewhere.

Indeed, even with the built-in phantom power it is. The Hi-Z switch is

also very handy; and it has pretty good pre-amps. On top of that the

device is very robust. All in all it's IMHO one of the best /cheap/

sound-cards.
Compared to the UA-25 the UA-25 EX CW also includes an analog

compressor. Given that it only has one knob (for the threshold), I doubt

it's very useful. FWIW the limiter on the UA-25 is similarly useless.

The new ground-Lift feature seems handy, though.

~2 years ago it only worked in "Advanced Mode" with Linux ;) - I never

flicked that switch to off.
It works with `jackd ... -r48000 -p64 -n3` ~4ms latency;  `jdelay`

reports 440 frames@48kSpS round-trip without x-runs.
