Probably the biggest problem with the Signalink USB is not the
interface itself, but the Windows builtin drivers for the ADC. It
thinks the ADC is a microphone and add +30 dB of gain in software.
That issue is not with Windows ... it is with the device maker who
has selected a device that identifies as microphone level. Using
the proper device/device ID will cause Windows to see it as a line
level input and set the drivers correctly.

Yes, the Signalink USB is 16-bit from what I remember. But on the other hand
alost all rigs have a 16-bit audio DAC so that will be the limiting factor
anyway (with K3 being the exception with a 24-bit DAC).
Probably the biggest problem with the Signalink USB is not the interface

reduced to 6 bits if you are not careful. There are some descriptions (it
isn't obvious, it is not visible in the normal mixer controls) on the net how
to set the gain to (almost) 0 dB, but I use Linux so I haven't tried.

And.... isn't it the case that the SignaLink is a 16 bit device? That
Tascam US 100 is also 16 bits, but it has been replaced by a model that has
24 bit/96 KHz sampling.. indicating a high quality interface.

This problem occurred with a SignaLink.
That's not a very good interface. It helps to have an clip light or
other digital level indicator on the interface for the received signal.
My Tascam US100 has a green signal presence light and a red one for
clip, which makes it easy to stay out of trouble.
