It appears that the round-trip distortion of the KA6 is around 0.01% with a S/N
ratio better than 100dB.

You know, I reckon I can live with that!

I had looked at the 2i2 previously but was far from happy about possible
compatibility issues with Linux. Incidentally, it only claims 0.002% distortion
under ideal conditions. More real-world figures on their own website are very
similar to the KA6.

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