Tascam US-122 USB Audio/MIDI Interface

Has anyone tried these as a pre-amp/phantom power/analog-digital converter for the taping shows? If it is a decent piece of machinery it looks like a pretty sweet deal. If you have let all of us know about it, or if you have some tapes you have made with it drop me a line and give me a listen.

fyi- the pre's in tascam equipment almost always blow.

I've heard good things about it if you are just going into a computer. It won't operate standalone and give s/pdif out.
