A bit of FYI, here is Julian Krause's review of the UAC-232. If you go to 12:50, he has the graph of the line input response and it is indeed flat out to 80kHz. But as always, there are good and bad points about any device, and there are some things that might be considered questionable choices in the design like not having any input attenuation. That might be fine for using in 32 bit mode, but if you go to 24 bit, it might well be an issue..
As for the steaks.... I've got 4 NY Strips in the fridge, just waiting to be tossed on the grill (it's not going to be abnormally hot here in the Midwest US).
Ah, okay then this is along the lines of their field recorder where the interface is designed to handle the full dynamic range of the analog front end so there’s no need to adjust an input attenuator and risk clipping.
I’m still not understanding why it would be flat to 80KHz unless they are expecting to use it for instrumentation. Nobody needs that kind of bandwidth for audio.
It also means the anti-alias filter is a little steeper, so probably has additional ringing and latency. Maybe okay for field recording but not so good for podcasting and multitrack home recording.
