You get what you pay for, sound quality is good but the unit looks flimsy and lacks features. I feel that an adjustable gain pot either in software of on the UCA202 itself would make the unti far more useable. The output distorts if the volume is turned up anything more than can be described as 'quiet' The ADC side of the UCA202 is unfortunately featureless, sound quality is good but there is no way to adjust the record level which means that you need to control the level going into the UCA202 to avoid clipping or noise. The headphone output is weak and does not drive my Sennheiser HD530's very well at all. Channel balance is good and the signal to noise ration is more than acceptable for home studio use. Audio quality from the phono output sockets is very good and I have looked at the output on my oscilloscope so can confirm that the frequency response is flat throughout the audio range.

On the plus side the DAC is plug and play and no additional drivers or software is required. I have used this in the past to download and convert music files int MP3.
The USB lead is hard wired which is a shame as the possibility of using a filtered lead is not an option. Behringer U-Control UCA222 - posted in External Hardware: I have a Behringer U-Control UCA222. This is a cheap entry level DAC and does look a bit flimsy.
