Ok. Well, I guess I missed the MAX part. So, if I compare that to the RME device (Fire something?) I was looking at, its max for the -10dBu reference (i.e., consumer) was +2dBu @ 0dBFS, so we can assume that at least this particular u-Phoria model is only outputting something like a "consumer" line level. If the other models in the lineup are spec'd the same, then a passive reamp box might not be the right solution, at least not one that expects "pro" line level output. (Perhaps we have to assume when the reamp box is 2x the price of the interface there may be a different set of assumptions at work in the design teams.)Kieth, it says "maximum output +3dBu" in the spec sheet. The Berry UCA 202 is a -10dBV device and the input clips at one volt and it is a unity gain converter. That is fair enough because the 202 works better than it has a right to for 25quid, Yes, the UMC range ARE cheap but you would thing they could go $1/2 for an NE5532 and a couple of resistors and caps? SMT would get four outputs on less than a chrissytime stamp!

Where we got the idea we are supposed to get something we didn't pay for, I don't know...
