The rest of the system is pretty darned sweet, and my issue may not impact you if you record loud sources.

Couldn't you get around this easily by adding an external hardware preamp to the chain before the signal reaches the 2626? I'm not suggesting, just curious, as I'm gonna be getting a 2626 myself and will be recording acoustic guitar (among other things). My old interface sucked, so I got into the habit of running everything through a preamp before it hit the interface and the results were much better.
