The MP3+ (I do not know about the others) supports ONLY 48000HZ sampling frequency. This is a pain if you are either recording or playing CDs, which use 44100. While rate change resampling is possible, it introduces a lot of noise (well with respect to the ideal anyway-- probably 20 or 30 dB at high frequencies. I refused to buy the MP3 for exactly this reason. I use the maudio transit, however its support under Linux is kludgy. It is a nice soundcard, but there is a bug in the Linux USB support which means that one has to go to some lengths to get the card to work.
