I wanted to replace it with a similar device. Most of the time the use is just as a DAC which takes input over USB from a Linux box and the analog out goes to a mini stereo system. I was using the recording features on the Roland but I have not tested the Behringer yet.
I was pleased to find not only does the UMC202HD run my Sennheiser HD 25s perfectly well but even the HD 600s sound good via the headphone jack. I think it is surely the best DAC you can buy for 64 Euros...
It runs off USB and even supplies phantom power if you need it. Quite an amazing device. The audio over the headamp is not perfect, it's a little thin, but it is very clear, clean, absolutely without any noise. You will not be able to turn the volume past 50% without the HD 600s becoming uncomfortably loud.
I'd like to see a power button on the front panel and for recording some kind of useful level metering is absent but seems pretty important. However given the tiny size I don't see there is room for it. Personally I wouldn't mind a larger enclosure to get the metering.
Summary: deal of the century on a 192 KHz DAC.

The UMC202HD is a real asset if you need to make good quality recordings quickly and easily. The lay out of the inputs, outputs and controls is intuitive so easy to master and the quality of the preamps belies it's modest cost.
One small gripe is that channel 1 is routed to the left output, channel 2 to the right while monertering recordings, although it is in stereo when mixing down, I mono-d my head phones while recording, so not to much of an issue for me.
I would be happy to use this in my studio professionally as it slotted in to my DAW seamlessly with the drivers on the Behringer website.
So to recap, easy to set up and use, quality is at the higher end for this type of interface and the build quality is excellent for the cost.
Again great customer service from Thomann, thanks.

But be careful! With MAC you need no driver but with WINDOWS you do. You don't receive a CD with the driver so you have to download it from internet. The problem is that there is no driver for WINDOWS 7 64bits! Really Behringer?
If you contact them they will send you a link to download an uncertified beta driver that will be stopped by the OS because Windows 7 64 bits allow just certified driver to be installed.You can solve this problem by certifing it by yourself but this process its not for everyone.It took me a while to get it done.So Windows 7 64bits users be careful to this.This is the only con, but its a big one.
Concerning other things I like everything about it.I like the fact that I can use it instead of an amplifier for my guitars and then connect headphones or an audio sistem.
---------------------------
There is now official driver for Windows 7 to Windows 10 available at http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Behringer/Computer-Audio/Audio-Interfaces/UMC202HD/p/P0BJZ/downloads

The setup of this is really easy. Basically for the Windows setup go to the Behringer site and find the latest drivers. Download, unzip and run the setup file. Then plug it in and away you go. Two inputs on this so I can plug my bass and a mic in. Level input is easy, just make sure the clipping light isnt flashing. Best to play throught whatever your planning to record and set the gain for each input. Easy enough. The direct monitoring is great and works at the press of a button.
Only issue I've had is some latency with Bandlab. There is a way of doing a latency test on that to change this but I managed to get round it by fiddling with the sound control panel setting.
Build quality of this unit is really solid. Metal case all round and the controls are smooth and easy to use. Excellent value for money.

If you plug your mic/instrument on the left input, only the left channel will output that sound. Respectively on the right input.
There is an old driver version which let you choose to have your mic output to 1 channel instead which will enable you to hear sound from your mic on both side of your headset. But the newer/latest drivers wont let you do that.

For the first impression I need to say that this interface is really interesting, and for this price, I thing it wouldn't be possible to find something better. We have 24 bits, 2 channels, which fits very good to my situation and I'm very satisfied with the Midas preamp performance as well. Besides that, the headphone amp is really good and I hope you can enjoy this interface like me.
I use windows and I didn't have any problem to download and install the drivers, everything is fine. I highly recommend!

The build quality of the unit is excellent. Metal body instead of plastic. Being able to hear the recording using headphones via the unit instead through the laptop speakers is so much better. If you are not concerned about the complications with midi then this is an excellent buy.

I suspect it will have enough gain on tap for almost any headphones you can throw at it, my little mini headphones get TOO DAMN LOUD.
The knobs, the whole enclosure feel solid, feels like you can throw it against a brick wall and casually keep using it afterwards.

Pros:
It does the job very well. Solid built, unique sound and for the bass I prefer this from the other budget 2i2s interfaces. Overall this interface is a very good buy and I recommend it without a doubt.
Cons:
1) As other users have stated, when you use direct monitoring you hear the instrument only in the side of the input. For example when I record from the first input I listen from only the left side of headphones/ speakers and that can be annoying
2) I use ableton as a daw and when I close the sound card driver to listen something else from my pc (outside of the daw), the drivers get stuck and I have to unplug and connect again the interface. This is a driver problem however so it may be fixed someday

Definitely suits the use case of a streamer or gamer or anyone that could benefit from a good quality mic but aren't going to record.

Pros:
- 192khz recording!
- metal build
- two inputs
- PAD
- separate volume controls for headphones
Cons:
- Direct monitoring is only one channel, so the sound is separated to either your left or right speaker only
Aside from the con, this is overall an excellent product!!

However, if you don't need this feature, this is a great budget interface.

The build of the interface is really good, the chassis is made of metal and feels solid, all ports grip the cables well and the buttons and knobs are decent and very responsive.
The MIDAS preamps of the interface are also very good regarding noise which is kept at a minimum. I have used it to record both vocals and guitars as well as bass, and the recordings have turned out clear. The latency is good, the fact that it comes with its own ASIO driver means that settings can be changed, which includes the latency if needed. I have found no issues with lag whatsoever and the direct monitoring feature (limited to one headphone/speaker at the time due to the fact that the interface is locked into 2 channel mode (I have not found a way to change it and can be seen as the only "downside") is very helpful.
Overall verdict, it is a worthy purchase and compares excellently with competitors.

Rarely you can hear some noise, but you can easaly control it with gain - it's mostly caused by something around the interface or the device plugged in the input.
For the installation you just need to head on their official site and download the correct software.
If you dont need much and want a quality product with a good price - this one is for you !
