I wonder if the author has tried using a low-latency or RT kernel. Setting up jack/pulseaudio/alsa isn't for the faint of heart but it's great when it all works right.

I didn't. I'm using the stock Debian kernel.

But in the kernel's defense, on a much worse computer in terms of specs, a different USB mic had no pops with an older kernel (whatever ships with xubuntu 16.04).

I also wasn't getting any xruns (according to Jack) at 512/2 which gave something like 45ms of latency which isn't too low (but is totally fine for talking into a mic, as opposed to drums, etc.).

I've had decent luck with a Steinberg UR44 (USB 2, IIRC) on linux.
