Default My PreSonus AudioBox 44VSL Review Posted

Thanks for the review, Mike.

Two questions:
- do these interfaces work with Linux (prefer Sapphire, but Presonus OK)?

- did you happen to notice the internal voltages of the Preamps (or the
chip #'s on the preamps?). A lot of these circuits use NE5532
variants, but seem to run them at very low voltages (eg., my old
Edirol UA5 uses jrc4590 preamps at +/-5V, while a very old Maudio Duo
uses +/-12V and INA163 instrument amps. A big different in quality.
This has in fact spawned a "hacker" community amoung concert tapers

Thanks again,
Richard
