Swissonic Audio 2

I bought this a while ago and I can't say that I'm not impressed. Apart from that wrong phantom power switch position in the manual all has been working completely fine and I've had no issues. Noise is manageable, audio quality is just right!

Edit: 16 Months later I finally had to replace this interface after the volume Potentiometer scratched itself to death after almost daily usage. Since the interface is so easy to open it is trivial to replace however. I did purchase the Scarlett Solo 3rd gen as a replacement and I frankly don't know what the other reviews are about. The sound seems pretty much identical. Maybe a hair less bass on the scarlett, but other than that I have no idea.

Frankly get this one. It'll last you long enough if you replace the pot. I still cannot complain one bit.

I will admit that I haven't tested the inputs on the scarlett yet, so maybe there is a difference there? But who doesn't do any post-processing anyway...

This soundcard offers great, clear, digital sound that’s solid for the price. It’s built well, with a cool metal design and an easy-to-use layout, including AUX in/out to plug into your phone for AUX in and recording. The downside? The official driver is a headache—glitches and lag to the whole system make it unusable. Luckily, ASIO4ALL works as a replacement (2-3ms latency), not sure if any official feature from its own driver is missing. If you don’t mind not installing the official driver, this soundcard is a fantastic choice for the price and offers good performance despite the software issues.
