As a follow-up to the recently posted MOTU Ultralite teardown , i had to grab this as soon as it popped up in my search results, because it ...

I had fiddled with one of these a couple years back, but here's another chance to take a look inside a (1st gen) Focusrite Scarlett 2i2,...

As it turns out, i hadn't done (or at least documented) a teardown of this little guy, even though i've been using it for the last t...
