Thanks for the offer.  I generally fire up Audacity to record a
streaming broadcast for later listening.  If I connect to the
broadcast before starting Audacity, then (with the Lexicon) I hear
static until I unplug USB and reconnect.  But that is a minor
nuisance; once connected, the Lexicons are solid.

That is a bit too much tweaking for me to worry with.  The MOTU M2 is
impressive, but anything which works is better than anything else which
doesn't.
