Audiophile 2496 http://www.m-audio.ca/products/en_ca/Audiophile2496-main.html

I want to buy the USB one, cuz there won't be any interference and radioactivity but just wanted to know if they were basically the same in sound quality and possibilities

Could this thread be transfer in "The Lab", cuz there's less people that goes in the hardware!

And right now I need advice for real, cuz I called to some place and they said that their clients had a lot of problem with the Audiophile USB drivers and that they were going to have the Fast Track Pro ( http://www.m-audio.ca/products/en_ca/FastTrackPro-main.html ) . It's basically like the Audiophile but with a pre-amp, I would pay 40$ extra for the Fast Track Pro.

Is it worth it? And does it have a good pre-amp? Cuz i don't know much about pre-amp

I heard that USB 2.0 is faster than firewire.. dont know if its true though

Fire Wire 400 is still faster than usb 2.0, and there are faster versions of FireWire.

Man there's so much bad shit I have heard about USB audio interfaces it's not funny, although I have never used the Audiophile USB.
If u can get the 24/96, u be best with that.
