This is my 2nd U-Control, one I use for optical out for my Active Edifier speakers to a Chromebook and the sound is definitely better then another port. The other one I use for a 80 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT-770 and my new DT-900, also on a Chromebook. USB gives a little bit better sound than the standard headphone out on my PC, I switch them between PC/Chromebook, so actually for this price that would not be a luxury. When I ordered the last one they were hard to get and payed 32 euro, a few days later I saw another one online for 26 EU incl postal which was available and not sold out, very handy piece of hardware worth it's price.

My usage is not mentioned in the adds! My interest and usage is on the "digital" as opposed to being an analog/digital converter. I will try to explain my "digital path"...Pro DAT (digital audio tape) by TOSLINK/AES EBU.SPDIF. All of these I use in my setup. My fav is SPDIF (Sony Philips Digital Interface. All of this to say "fibre(or fiber...thanks spell check!) optics"...quiet,no noise, cool! For those who need just a cool digital/audio for low bucks this is the balls! Now I only have to get the "last link" for my system is taking the fibre opitic signal to USB and I have found only one in this great big digital world and I will take the plunge. Get the Behringer, I love their stuff and use it everyday...when my wife will let me :)

I'm an Old School hi-end audiophile. I run a laptop PC as a media player into a USB DAC. I used to use this Behringer for both audio playback and for taking analog to digital. The sound quality is equal to what you get out of a typical low cost CD player. It's really quite decent, but it could be better.I ended up replacing it with a playback only DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) from a local hi-end audio shop. I also paid 5 beans for it. My DAC definitely sounds better. More detail, clarity and in general, a more "organic" quality to wind instruments and voices. But it's about 15 times the price of the Behringer. And I can't use the DAC for recording, so I still use my Behringer for that. I'd love to find an A to D converter to replace it that didn't cost a ... MoreI'm an Old School hi-end audiophile.

There is better gear out there, but it also costs a lot more.

I originally used other audio interfaces in the past, that have since become obsolete (through drivers primarily).The UCA202 while not a pro interface, has out preformed some of my older gear, and at bargain price too. So far I have only ran into a recording issue with it once - when I was recording multiple instruments one at a time (most likely a software issue and not hardware, as I found I had to save the audio and close the file to record another).Although I like to play around with some audio (various instruments) occasionally, my primarily use is to input finished audio (recording my vinyl records, or special tapes that are not available on any other format), to output finished tracks to my audio system gear for listening, and make recordings on my ...

Which it works wonderfully for, and gives a much clearer sound than I have heard for awhile.For my use the UCA202 outpaces my motherboards sound card of course, older nearly incompatible gear, and even a new internal sound card I purchased separately costing much more - but that one is worthless (in that regard avoid Creative sound cards). I've hard zero latency issues using it so far, even with various software programs.I'm impressed with the sound quality and would recommend it to anyone that isn't a recording musician that needs a higher frequency response for recording. It is plug-n-play on all the systems I've tried, Linux and various Windows systems, and as a plus works on laptop/notebook systems too as it is USB.
Part of the product description states that the headphone jack can be used to monitor both input and output signals, however, I found this to not be true. The headphone/ monitoring seems to only be for the input signal. The off/on monitor switch bypasses the dry signal from being sent to the headphone port. Even the user manual makes no mention of using the headphones for listening to the output signal, only the input.This may not be a deal breaker, but to me it was a major disappointment, given my intention with buying this. I got this to run my hardware synths through my iPhone to have my iPhone serve as a portable, makeshift effects processor--completely independent of my current setup--so I could use the fx apps I bought on my iOS devices.

I got this to run my hardware synths through my iPhone to have my iPhone serve as a portable, makeshift effects processor--completely independent of my current setup--so I could use the fx apps I bought on my iOS devices. The headphone monitoring the wet signal was important because I planned on using it for private listening as well. So the fact that only the dry signal is sent to the headphone output practically rendered this useless for me. Luckily though, Audiobus 3 has a multiroute audio option that sends the output to the headphone port on the iPhone in addition to the outs on the interface, so I am able to use it as intended after all.Bottom line, I would look at different audio interface if you are wanting to listen to a processed signal through headphones directly from the interface. However, if you plan on the output being sent to speakers, or a mixer, or if you don't intend to use the onboard headphone out to listen to a wet signal, then this will make a decent affordable option for an audio interface. My recommendation is entirely dependent on how you plan to use this. Just be aware of how the monitoring and headphone output actually works on this.
Arrived with a broken seal and no software to drive the device.Page 2 of the operating manual states " we've also included free software to help you transfer and edit the music in a streamlined fashion." This is also reinforced on the product reviews on your website, where free Audacity software is mentioned.I telephoned Andertons on 3rd April about this and spoke to Chris in Tech Support. He advised me to register the product, and the software would then be downloadable. I have done this and found it to be of no use whatsoever.I have since complained but got no response.
I bought this device to transfer some old vinyl LPs to digital. I have an old Technics SL1200 turntable and an external equalisation preamp which I fed into the UCA202 and then into my Mac Mini using Garage Band. It worked very well, and I liked the fact that you can monitor the input or output with headphones. A simple inexpensive device that I would recommend.
Great efficient item. I am using this to convert mini disc recordings to MP3 files and the Behringer UCA202 has saved me hours of work. The mini discs were used for backing tracks for my solo performance, converting via the Behringer means I can now play my tracks on my ipad. It worked straight away as a plug and play device and efficiently recorded the MP3 tracks which were able to be doctored through my user program to get the optimum performance for the tracks. All set at the correct volume and with better eq settings and no gaps at front and back. Thoroughly recommend this unit for this purpose, and can see it could be very useful in future for other set ups.
The UCA202 unit works great on iOS. The small power requirements of the unit makes it work with now extra powered ports or anything. It works as far back as iPhone 4S, iPad 2, and the original iPad mini that I own. Few units can say that - and this is a unit I bought back before iOS had hit it big.The sound: Used just as an external DAC, there is noticeable improvement in listening through this over the headphone jack, even with the latest iPhone 6 hardware. I use high impedance headphone including Bose and have plenty of volume. I can see where lower impedance and cheaper earbuds might not get a full sound. And actually you would need high quality cans to hear the difference of this unit to bother not just using the headphone jack.I have also used this for line ...

It makes as good a 16-bit recording as anything I have tried. Get this unless you really need 24 bit recordings. 44,100 or 48,000 sample rate is not a limiter IMHO. Much has been written about that elsewhere by experts. You only need 24 bit if you are going to do a lot of processing with plugins on your recordings.
