Sadly, the best USB interfaces are not produced anymore and haven't been replaced by anything of the same quality for the same price. What's on the market is certainly good enough for studio work but less so for measurements.
The stupidity of this escapes me, except that the numbers don't really translate into sound quality.
Some more measurements on the Roland: RightMark Audio Analyzer test : Roland Super UA
Not so bad, btw, looks like E-MU 0404 are better and cheaper, right?
Found my card analysis with RightMark soft! dont looks bad!
found that info in this website post http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/blogs/rjm/888-nwavguy-odac-24-96-dac-review.html
more info from the post http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20061211/dal262.htm 🙂
these values are good enough to analyze amps without spend too much money on hardware.
i have 300-400usd to spend now, looks like will purchase virtins DSO

need to get it from someone located in USA. emu 0404 impossible to get :/ others new looks expensive!
Looks like UAC-2 is the only that can get but are 250USD :/
Someone tested/measure some "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB Audio System with Phono Preamp" ?its less than 100USD in amazon

Hey samsagaz, I have been looking at alternatives for ages and nothing beats the EMU0404 for price/value. The next alternatives require much more money. or the QA interfaces for measurement. The other Creative and Xonar stuff are not as good.

🙁 not easy to find EMU0404 :/
I can't seem to find any specs for that model online 🙁
There is some comparison
