[arm-allstar] good source for usb soundcards

[Tim Yoos]

Ok thanks,

So far these I have had good luck with the chip open
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R33VWW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00



But avoid these as they were potted

I know its hard to keep up with manufactures changing production runs, 
designs chipsets etc...
so knowing a few good recent sources for the good usb fobs always helps
