Would love to know where you get your ad/da//chipset info from…cos i do deep dives on the net for this info, but its scant at best. And i’m fully aware of some of the manufacturers of chips and convertors like ti/burr brown/akm etc etc. but whenever i look at a new interface i find little info where someone has done a ‘teardown’.
Please share…lol…oops i think analog devices is another.
Maxim also ?..

Anyhoo my audient evo 4 was originally meant as a ‘stop gap’ and a ‘wait and see’. And so far i really cant knock it. It hasnt give me one prob. Maybe i’m lucky. Also i gotta say i get a rapid response from audient support.
Also i found out the drivers are multiclient.
I’m getting very low latency with it. I think ive seen on audients web site some of the ‘internals’ are less than 1ms. (see web site for info.)
ok i found evo specs..check out the la
tency figures and other specs...page down for latency figs. in particular notice the round trip latency figure.

Now of course to be fair all interfaces have improved…and competition is fierce. I might try the new uavolt next or ssl2 or motu. I’m also waiting to see if Soundcraft or An heath do something new with their mixers.
ive always been interested in the a/h zed series.

In summary ive been pleasantly surprised by evo, and would mention also lots of studios worldwide are using the audient evo’s and also the higher end id range.
all reviews ive seen have been very positive..eg..

I think if i remember after a few months of my use of evo musictech mag gave it 9 or 10 out of ten tech award. ..forgotten.

Lets remember also per a recent artice i was reading on chipsets//adda..
Also the analog circuits/components etc in the circuits are important.

And before someone says i work for audient.
dont be daft !
I mention this cos…lol…when i mentioned biab over the years to fellow musos..i was often asked if i worked for pg. Cant win…lol.

In ending , and i’m guilty as well, i think sometimes we obssess bout specs a tad too much.
For example the obsession on a minus ‘insert your under hundred noise floor number’ ..when some mics are what ? -55 ?
I made this mistake once with a product , but then found it grrreat in use.

As always to quote the ever nice marioD, ymmv. And i would just add rent//test any usb interface before purchasing.

Happiness to all.
