This is my second device. I bought one ~ 7 or 8 years ago at the recommendation of an Audacity sound engineer on their forums. I wanted to record my college team's games from my stereo to listen to later. It worked perfectly for that. I am also able to stream videos or songs from my computer over my stereo system... much nicer than my computer audio. I can also plug in my headphones to the 3.5 mm jack on the Behringer unit to listen without disturbing my family.
This unit is being used to stream audio for a small Church service & is working well. The RCA jack inputs and outputs are geared more to consumer level audio systems and works very well for that functionality. I have had my 1st unit for a long time & although it is made of plastic, and has been bounced around a bit from home to office to other places it has never failed me. It is plug & play so there is no need to install any software, though I highly recommend Audacity for doing the recording, mixing & perfecting the sound quality... eg digitally boosting recordings that were made at low volume level up to the maximum without clipping.
The one thing to be aware of is the audio setup. You will probably need to click on that to switch the audio input &/or output to the USB device. Otherwise your computer may still want to output the audio to it's own speaker system, or to use the computer microphone rather than the stereo audio feed. Not a big deal, but it won't work without telling it which audio stream to use or which playback device to use.
For a big commercial setup with balanced cables you would be better off getting a different audio interface with TRS 1/4" &/or XLR connectors, though you could use this unit with adapters.

If it doesn't sound right, it's your computer settings
I've been a long time user of Behringer equipment, I wish I would have found this 2 years ago when I purchased this other POS. I attached a couple screen shots, this shows frequencies it's not getting. It's vastly better than the last one I purchased. It's not picking up the super low or super high frequencies, granted it's technically above and below our hearing range but not out of our sensory range. Even though technically we can't hear above 17k you can sure hear it when it's not there. If someone is attempting to record vinyl, vinyl doesn't have extended band width, so the range of this is fine. A pro for some a con for me is the pre amp. As a dj I record my shows and my laptop doesn't have any inputs, hence this is why I got this. So I'm putting out some pretty high volume, I have to go into my input settings in my laptop and change the input record level from 100 down to 20, even then it's close to maxing out but it's a pro for everyone else who's not putting out that much volume. I deducted one star for lack of instructions, I had to download a pdf and even it didn't talk about the settings in your computer. When you plug it in it defaults to mono and only the left channel program. You have to select the channels you want and the bit rate. It's easy for me I know all of that. I guess an advantage for the advanced user like me is the ability to select the channels and bit rate depending on what or how you want to record. Most people will select 2 channel, left, right, 16 bit, 44.1k, that's essentially cd quality. I would definitely recommend this piece, Behringer has always been very solid for me. Perhaps not the best you can buy but you can't beat them in their price range.

I'm a musician and plan to use Macbook Pro as a sound library for live performance. Unfortunately using Macbook's own audio driver, I still get a latency of 20ms, which is quite noticeable. I searched on Amazon for a cheap audio interface just to reduce latency because I don't want to bring my $1000 RME interface every time I perform. There are plenty of such interfaces under $100, and then I found this one costing $10. I was very skeptical of what it can do and will it even work, but still made the order.
Now I just received and tested it, and it works really well! You can see that the overall latency can be as low as 3.7ms, which for a piano/keyboard player, is basically 0. It's also easy to use and doesn't require any driver installation on the latest MacOS. Btw it's a shame that Apple doesn't optimize the audio latency although Macbooks are popular choices for live performance.
There's two small nits: 1. It has fixed USB A connection cable, so I need to use a converter for USB C; 2. There's noticeable noise when volume is turned all the way up. Considering the cost of the interface, these are very minor issues.
Update on the noise: I think it was because of headphone impedance mismatch. I was using Audio Technica ATH-M50x which is relatively low impedance. I connected the headphone out directly to my main audio interface and there's no audible noise at all, even at high volume.
I highly recommend this interface for people with similar live performance needs!
