Turtle Beach Micro USB "Soundcard" - Page 2

The Behringer UCA-202 sells on eBay for around the same price as the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro. The TBAAM is smaller, but the analog and digital output comes out of the same hole, so there's a small Toslink adapter to lose. The UCA-202 has more features and is based on a chip with better specs. The TBAAM doesn't seem like good value, unless this is a case where specs either lie or don't tell the whole story.

Not a shill for Behringer; I respect ADStech more, but their box costs more and lacks headphone output, and the case is larger than necessary. But, the Toslink input is an unusual and useful feature, and analog performance is superior.

I have been using the UCA-202 with the ASIO drivers installed and I must say flac files played thru foobar from my laptop sound very good. You must add the ASIO drivers, they make a substantial difference in the sound. You could instantly hear the difference.
