Hi Lindsay--
"Standalone operation" does seem to be a rarity among features
advertised for audio interfaces. M-Audio makes three units with it:
The Fast Track USB Audio Interface; The Profire 2626 and the The
ProFire 610 FireWire. It looks like an active usb/firewire connection
is not absolutely necessary in order to pass analog audio; it depends
on the design. The block diagram in the UA-25EX's manual shows a
"direct [analog] monitor" which by-passes the a-d/usb/d-a circuit and
connects to the analog output section. We may have to wait until
someone tries it and lets it be known. Rob D.
