Billy, I have often wondered how much difference in audio quality there is between these audio interfaces like the Scarlett line verses a Clarett. How many people out there could tell the difference? The mic pre in even the cheapest two-channel Scarlett is quite good. Once you boost a signal to line level, there’s not much you can do to it other than ‘color’ it, which I don’t think relates to discussions about quality. If my preamp gives me 124 db dynamic range and yours is 130, who can hear the difference?
