:)  There are, as always, a lot of off-branded hardware on shelves out
there, though, so without ripping cases off stuff to ID chips, so if you
can discount-bin shop some returnable tryouts you'll probably have good
luck.  CRRC and goodwill shops are also other candidates for this;
esp. in the average second-hand shop:  if they see some widget witha  few
plugs and no dials or other interface, it usually gets shoved in a bin of
adaptors and power cables, among video game and other home entertainment
piles (most usb audio devices I've seen are just dongles)... anything sound
blaster era should have CD-quality sound... you might also find one that has
MIDI as well as audio, which could be a worthwhile extra...
