High Quality, Budget friendly Interfaces: Audient
Audient is easily the best value in audio interfaces today. With the “ID” line you get world class preamps and converters that would cost you multiple times more to get any other way. In every model you get the same preamp that is used in their large recording consoles. In Additional, every model but the iD4 includes Converters from one of the top names in the industry, Bur Brown. At $100 less, the iD4 would make a great first audio interface.
