Richard, WOW, how can anyone make money with a price like that? It does not mention speed or bit depth or chip however, so I went to the mfg web site, SYBA USA. This is not the same device. The one we bought is a SD-AUD20101 (http://sybausa.com/productInfo.php?iid=1191¤tPage=0) so don't feel bad about paying more! I have been using it as a sound card and it is working well but I am not set up for I/Q signals.... Just waiting for my KX3...
