Edirol releases UA-25 USB Audio and MIDI interface, a bus-powered, aluminum-cased, 2 channel USB audio interface with two phantom powered XLR mic preamps and a built in Analog limiter, for those sessions when you only get one take. Also, Edirol claims to be "#1 when it comes to stable drivers for our Audio Interfaces". One novel feature of the UA-25 is the ability to send sound from its inputs back though to its outputs in the digital domain, allowing recording of audio from one application into another.
