we have the...
1. the m audio firewire audiophile
2. the m audio firewire 410
3. the edirol ua5 usb
4. the emagic 2|6 usb
5. the emagic 6|2 usb
i need (1) digital inputs (optical preferred, coaxial fine though), (2) 1/4 analog inputs, (3) 24 bit/96hz a/d conversion, (4) xlr inputs would be nice but are not necessary, (5) usb or firewire interface, (6) the highest sound quality i can get for this price range (around $300).
at the moment, i am really trying to decide between the edirol ua5 and the m audio audiophile. it looks like the latter may give me more sound quality, but enough to outweigh getting xlr inputs for $20 less?
any suggestions/insight?
thanks a bunch!
