Well this one looks interesting but it's ucking expensive. Also, from the blurb
on their site is seems it is limited to 24bit 48k on Linux

"As a class-compliant audio device, the USBPre 2 is limited to a maximum data
rate of 24-bit, 48 kHz in Windows, Linux, and Mac OS versions 10.4 to 10.5.7.
Mac OS 10.5.8 and higher support the audio class 2.0 device and can address the
USBPre 2 up to 24-bit, 192 kHz.

To enable higher sampling rates in Windows OS, download the available Windows
ASIO driver."

For me, it's also significant overkill and I have an very nice little analogue
mixer so all I really want is straight I/O - but nobody seems to do that :(

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