Yes, but its 16 in 16 out, whereas the UCA202 is 2 in 2 out for $25 and the Firepower is also Firewire, so there would be less
latency than USB
Which versions of USB and FireWire are you comparing? How does any difference in
latency inherent in USB versus FireWire compare to the
latency related to the specific interface and its drivers, the
bit depth and sample rate settings, the hard drive/computer and the processing itself? Simply saying that there are likely to be a number of factors in the
latency experienced with either product other than just their being FireWire or USB.
The I/O seems to be one of those cases where 16x16 versus 2x2 could be a significant advantage if you might ever need or want more than two in and/or two out, but otherwise might be irrelevant. A
bit like when people compare audio mixers and
address one having more inputs, outputs, aux sends,
etc., a comparison that can be significant if it represents some benefit in actual use but a
bit pointless or perhaps even representing a disadvantage if it is comparing numbers that aren't really relevant to the intended use.
