Apogee( Duet For Mac
An Apogee technology first introduced in 1992 on Apogee’s AD-500 converter, Soft Limit can be heard on countless platinum selling records around the world. Once a technology exclusively reserved for Apogee’s most advanced audio converters, Soft Limit is included in Duet and can be enabled in Apogee Maestro software. Apogee Duet sets the industry standard for portable professional audio recording on Mac and iPad. Made for the musician, producer and engineer that wants the ultimate sound quality and elegant simplicity, Duet features legendary Apogee AD/DA conversion, two world-class microphone preamps, USB MIDI I/O and ESS Sabre32 DAC technology.
Hi, it seems that the Apogee Duet is the best-sound audio interface for the Mac. What would be the equivalent for a PC (Windows 7 x64)? I've been using a Line6 Toneport UX2 for quite sometime and would like to upgrade to a new high-quality audio interface, but it's been difficult to get a solid recommendation. It seems nothing compares to an Apogee Duet, but as it's only available for Macs, it's not helping me.
I'd appreciate any recommendations. Been looking at more Line6, Onyx, etc - all seem to be ok but none has so far stood out. BTW, I only need 2 inputs at the same time (guitar, mic).
Apogee Duet For Mac Manual
The major sound differences between audio interfaces are the mic-pre sections if you're just using inputs and outputs on line level the differences are virtually non-existent as long as it's a proper card and not some integrated AC97 codec thing If you're using spdif or aes input/output there is no sound difference between audio interfaces It's mostly a matter of S/N and latency and reliability when it comes to pro gear. Apogee's Mic-pre's are better than most, but not better than good outboard mic-pre's Hope this helps Best regards -T. Hi, it seems that the Apogee Duet is the best-sound audio interface for the Mac.

Been looking at USBPre2 and Babyface over the weekend - tough choice. I like the USBPre2 for its many in-/output options, especially the 2 deadicated headphone and 2 line outs. On the other hand, it's only got 2 line ins, and they don't seem to be deadicate instrument inputs (normal/hi-z). Reading through many posts it appears that the USBPre2 is used by many HiFi enthusiasts and DJs and is highly valued for its microphone pre-amps. I couldn't find many references to it being used as a guitar interface. The Babyface appears to be a true musician's interface.
Personally, I don't like that the inputs and outputs are via an external adapter, although the instrument-in and headphone out are built into the box. It also seems that you can only use the 2 outputs as either headphone or line-outs and not both - or perhaps I misinterpreted the information on their website.
I prefer the USBPre2 but would need to get some clarification about the Line-Ins and their suitability for guitar/electric instrument inputs.
