I'm considering a budget of $100 to $1,500. I know that's a huge range
low to high though I'm hoping to go as low as possible for good quality
recording, yet I understand that in some cases I might just have to bite
the bullet and get something that's more $$$. :-/ :-\

How do I know if the stuff supports alsa and ffado before I buy it?

What links are you referring to that you said I should already have?

Thank you!
