WARNING: At the end, I will add a very important note.
As a professional for the past 8 years, this little beast is the best solution for something small and on the go. Great value for money, whether for studio use or streaming. Incredible and clean preamps (for its price), they hardly color the sound at all, and their noise floor is extremely low. Excellent headphone output, tested with 250ohm & 600ohm headphones, it can't push the 600ohm to its limits, but I didn't expect it to. I chose it because of the extra preamp inputs that can be added with ADAT, and I don't regret it. You can have whatever you want on top of it, combining its clean preamps with anything else. The drivers it has are amazing, coming from Focusrite it's a whole new world for those with Windows, they don't cause any issues and don't burden my processor. The instrument input is excellent, although I have only tried guitars so far. The Loopback feature is incredible for those who want to do streaming, as it allows you to choose what to send and where. I personally don't use the ID button, but it's an extra for those who want it. Its construction is metal and sturdy compared to Native Instruments at the same price range. I believe there is nothing better in this budget, and I think the only reason someone would want to upgrade is for something like the Apollo Twin for DSP, etc. Besides, it's not limited to just two inputs since, as I mentioned before, it can be expanded with ADAT and have a total of 8 extra inputs at 48K. It's worth noting that it has two headphone outputs, but they are parallel and cannot be controlled separately. The main outputs are fully satisfactory, there are 4 and you can control them separately. I have no words, I have fallen in love with it. It can't be compared to the Focusrite Scarlett, Behringer Utopia, and Steinberg UR, it's better in every aspect.
NOTE: It is not powered by a socket, it is connected via type-c to the computer, and the cable provided is type-c to type-c. In case it is plugged into an older USB 2.0 port, it will not be able to unleash its full power, it will run at lower volume and its outputs may distort when you increase the volume. It's better to connect it to a type-c port if your motherboard has one, otherwise use USB 3.2.
In combination with good microphones, I managed to record a natural instrument (piano) with a sound better than any expectation, truly crystal clear! I couldn't achieve such good results even in studios, truly overwhelming! And for listening to music in combination with good headphones/speakers, the experience is simply incredible, worth every euro, I highly recommend it!
