Greetings from a cool place, Finland!

Sometime ago I asked about Audio Interfaces on this forum. (Then I used the word "DAC" rather than Audio Interface).

My first interface was a Firewire going into my mac mini. Often the mac mini would crash. I know, some of you guys warned me NOT to use firewire and insisted on usb 2.0. But I had made the order before reading those comments. You guys were RIGHT!

This new one is ROCK solid and has not crashed a single time.

Deciding to get a replacement now for the old firewire unit allowed me to get the just released, Audient iD22 Audio Interface, and it is GREAT. It is usb 2.0, has GREAT AD/DA conversion, as well as OUTSTANDING built in mic pres! Now I have to decide whether or not to use my GR micpre or the built-in ones (which are very clean).

I think the audio quality is quite remarkable but would like to hear what your ears have to say!

So I posted something to SoundCloud for your feedback on the audio quality. http://snd.sc/1aGT3II

Thanks in advance for "lending me your ears".

Here is an A/B test for the converters... http://snd.sc/16LuhXj

All the best,

Mac

Congrats!! A great piece of kit.

I have been eying one myself. The talk about town is that the converters and pres are better than the Duet. Good news, for me anyway, is that Audient is also working on Windows support.

Your audio sounds sweet!

Bob

If the drivers are less problematic than the Apogee Maestro stuff, then I'd say it's a winner. That or the SPL Crimson, but we wait... The increased amount of I/O on the Crimson seemed potentially useful.
