The way to go here would be to get a UCA202 with regular line inputs and use the output of a phono preamp as input to the UCA202. Even without the EQ messing the sound up a line level signal will severely distort a phone preamp. A phone preamp has RIAA equalization built in and much higher gain. The phono input model just has a phono input and preamp, which is not a line level input, which you'd need to record from a tape machine.

However, you want to digitize LPs and cassettes and there's a minor problem there. The performance is actually excellent, better than vinyl and certainly cassette. The OS reads is as '2902 Audio Codec' because it's a TI 2902 chipset.

It works excellently in linux because it's standards compliant, and from what I've looked up the UFO202 works fine as well. It's the same thing but without the phono input, just line level analog input. I use a Behringer UCA202 all the time, not to record but for playback. Well, in this case the answer is yes and no. I am looking at a Behringer UFO202 U-Phono USB Audio Interface, which will hook up to Windows or Mac with no drivers, but I don't know if this will apply to Linux.
