I look forward to hearing and seeing your results.

Being that you will eventually have two digital representations of the
same audio event (assuming you can use both the audio and USB outputs
at the same time) I wonder what sort of digital comparison could be
run on the two files? I assume there's likely to be some time shift
between the two, but I wonder if there is value in some sort of
frequency response graphs, etc.?

Cheers,
