Are you at all familiar with Focusrite's Saffire (LE) ?
http://www.focusrite.com/product/saffire_le/
No.
A friend of mine's been offered one at an attractive
price and he's curious to know if he can use any of those
test tools with it. What's the one you like again btw ?
Most if not all Windows test and measurement software is based on WDM
drivers.

G.pdf
says that they provide both ASIO and WDM drivers, which is good. It
is not uncommon for hardware that is provided with both WDM and ASIO
drivers to have less function in WDM mode. How this will effect
operation at 24/96 (pretty much required for use as test equipment)
and 24/192 (nice to have) is not clear from the documentation.
Sounds encouraging though.
Performance-wise this is not 100 dB plus dynamic range hardware, at
least as specified. Of course it may perform better.
Compare it to a M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 as line-level test
equipment.
No balanced inputs renders it useless for the required task I'm
afraid.
The other one you like is the Lynx Two isn't it ?
