Nice call Papa, I use two of these little guys and one just pooped out on me. I can still use it for cueing but it sounds like rice crispies :sqlaugh:

So how does the 1/8th inch compare to RCA jack on these?

I can't find anything that says if it's 16bit or 24bit. 16 would sound like junk and my mixer doesn't have a digital input.

That thing is so cute. It's such a tiny little guy (the sound card I mean). How is the signal with that card? I know running from the ear phone jack out of the laptop really sucks.

The only thing I don't like about the TBs, is it's too easy to knock them out or break them off, and they require an adapter cable.

That's why I like the Behringer's (UCA202), as it has a 3 foot USB cable, and RCA outs. They both sound great -- although the TB has a little hotter output if I recall (can't seem to find the one I had -- which may be another thing to consider :sqerr:).

Great card, great value......Use the adapter cable, that way the card can be velcro'ed down to the case....
