Studio headphones are wasted on this thing because of the output impedance. It runs 2mw 16ohms, and the output impedance is 47 ohms, resulting in a +/- 7 dB freq response. The DAC in the UCA202 is fairly nice for being plug and play (TI PCM2902), but the op amp for the headphones sucks. Your pc has a line input on the back, so you could have forgone the UCA202 altogether and simply used a stereo breakout cableВ to run from the main outs to the line-in on the pc. You -don't- want to run your UCA202 on the hub if you have any sort of external storage attached to it as well. Just make sure the hub is externally powered, since your machine only has a 220w PSU.

Keep in mind that it doesn't do you much good for USB 2 devices beyond adding ports, which could be done to any of the available usb 2 ports as well. Acer's website says your box does have 1 USB 3.0 port so you should be ok.

I would see if you could replace the motherboard with a newer Mini-ITX board with some expansion capability.В The internal mini PCIE slot is only for wireless LAN or BluetoothВ cards, since the clearance is non-existent with the case closed. Sound/Audio work is one area where the different can be relevant (line degradation, random noise pickup, etc). These days, USB3 is great and difference would be less important.

Ports on the computer may not be all USB3 (of course). I haven't used a USB hub before and heard some things don't work well with them. :( wondering if a USB hub would be a good solution for sound or if I should use the hub for keyboard and mouse and move the external sound card straight to the PC.

You're absolutely sure it's mini PCIe and not PCIe 1x?.Believe what may have been meant is 'low profile PCIe card' (sometimes 'half height PCIe card') versus 'full height PCIe card'. The board I'm buying is Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer with Xenyx Mic Preamps.ДЄnd the sound card is Behringer UCA202 Audio Interfaceп»їп»ї

I haven't used a USB hub before and heard some things don't work well with them.ДЄny thoughts on how to set this up for a good quality recording? I'm not professional musician, but quite good on the guitar and would like to record and play around with the sound. I unfortunately ran out of USB ports on my PC since there are only 4. I am purchasing a 4 input mixing board, a powered microphone, and a external sound card that will play from the mixing board into my PC via USB cable. I want to enhance my sound quality and recording experience. So far All i use is Audacity for editing and I use the on board sound card for my mic input. My current PC has 4GB of RAM 500GB Hard Drive, and a Intel Pentium J2900 2.41GHz. I am in the process of setting up a home studio to play around with at home.
