Did the job, but outdated now
This was my first 24-bit / 96kHz interface, I probably used it in the late 2000s to try & record vocals. But the inputs are RCA, so I'd have to first connect my Behringer mixer to it and all its associated power bricks, and it was a hassle. Nowadays you wouldn't even consider something like this - just get yourself a Focusrite 2i2 or an Audient or similar. Unless you're trying to digitize vinyl LPs, a niche where the UA-1EX seems to have found some popularity.
