Out-of-band noise issue: After making this video, I noticed that some interfaces produce quite a high amount of out-of-band noise which can negatively affect the measurement of the noise in the audible range. I re-measured all the interfaces with a low-pass filter in place to attenuate the out-of-band noise. In some instances, this lowered the measured noise figure. This is especially true for the Focusrite Scarlett 3rd generation products where the low-pass filter resulted in as much as 8 dB lower noise. The corrected values can be found in my newer reviews and I will use these numbers in future videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKXHioOCgNp0rsU

[@smartcatcollarproject5699]

Very detailed "sound engineering" review, but these are mostly recording devices, not dedicated DAC/amps for audiophiles, and while playing an instrument or singing your main focus is usually about performing, not on listening, do these slight and minor changes in your headphones really matter at this point ? Most musicians use DT770 or M50x headphones, they are relatively cheap and low rated by audiophiles... My point is that most of these red dots on the chart seems to be about headphones issues, and considering the low price of these interfaces (equivalent or cheaper than most cheapest DAC/amps), a perfect sound quality could be less important than other "details" like connectivity, or optional functions like mono/stereo, mixing input and output in the headphones, also durability, or maybe even form factor, etc. ?

As the manufacturers publish so little information about their headphone outputs it's so difficult to choose. Ideally I want something that will easily drive any headphone I might ever want to get.

In these particular setups it would be awesome to see / hear the difference!

Wow this is impressive work Julian. As an Audio Professional looking for a new interface to buy this was by far the clearest comparison available to me. Not only a scientific measurement of all the relevant parameters but an easily understandable explanation of why each parameter matters in the real world. A complete avoidance of all the fancy bells and whistles offered by the different models and a sharp focus on the real issue - the sound! You helped me decide where my money will go, thank you.

[@wsippel]

This video helped a lot, great work Julian! I had a hard time deciding between the EVO and 2i2 (the MOTU was just too expensive), but since you can currently get the Audio 1 for less than €90, with Guitar Rig Pro and a €25 voucher, and most of the headphones I already own are low resistance, that's what I ended up with. And I'm really happy with it.

Please do speakers output next and what DAC they use. Everybody does mic preamps but almost nobody talks about sound quality form their unit. I compared old NI Audio 6 sound card with my Audient iD14, side by side and I was blown away how much fuller and crispier and overall lively sound was form Audient. It was night and day. I have send Audio 6 back even if drivers performed better but sound from Audient, thanks to highest quality Burr Brown converters was just superior. As far as I know only Audient and Motu say what converters they use. And that is like THE MOST important part of your sound card. I am curious how Motu performs as I am planning to change form Audient to Motu because of drivers performance on Motu. (audient is OK but I wand fastest). So if you can, please compare speakers output (maybe with some sound samples) and check what converters they use, if you can. Please consider adding iD14 to the test as it has best converters, but Evo is fine too. Thanks!

Yes please do a video on the speaker output next for both balanced and unbalanced outputs. I actually own the Motu M4.

THIS

[@Ryezn5057]

What I don't get is that the Evo 4 has a very high impedance at 20ohm, yet it performs very good with low ohm loads with respect to distortion and power output and frequency response ? Like how bad is the 20ohm output, if I use 32-80ohm headphones. All the figures suggest it doesn't impact the results at all?

[@tiagogalvao654321]

It will impact the frequency response. Basically it will colour the natural sound of your headphones, this can be amplified if you already have cans with a non neutral frequency response. The ohms of your headphones should be 8 times higher than the amp for a neutral response. So you would need cans higher than 160 Ohms. It will affect the sound of the 80hms headphones a bit and even more in the 32 ohms range.

[@JulianKrause]

Headphones are a more complex load and have a changing impedance over the whole frequency range. That's why a high output impedance can change the sound of your headphones. This isn't directly reflected in the distortion and frequency response measurements. With a high output impedance your results will vary depending on the headphones you connect and that's of course not great.

[@Ryezn5057]

@@JulianKrause Makes sense, but could you actually test and demonstrate the changes and their effects or is there some online guide that can simulate this? I'm going to get a bit technical so bear with me. I saw your other video on headphone impedance matching, but it didn't fully cover the outcomes one can expect when the output impedance is less than 8 times the headphone impedance. For example, suppose we have a 80 ohm headphone. The impedance depends on frequency. The 80Ohm value is just an average. At resonance frequencies of the headphones the impedance of the headphones will be large and thus we will see little variation in the output freq. response since it's easier to drive a high output impedance. Below and above the resonance peak the impedance will dip and this is the most problematic area where I would expect distortion in the output freq. response, because the impedance can dip to values near the output impedance of the source.

@@charlesanderson1855 But why? All the differences are within the realm of inaudibility if you have an interface like the M2 with quality headphone output at all impedances.

If they're good enough for audio producers, they are certainly good enough for dedicated listeners.

Such an amazing Video, 38 minutes well spent, and someone finally discussing monitoring feature of the interface. these are important too as users are likely to use them for listening audio for their day to day life. Behringer interface is the one i am considering for using for my WFH home-office setup

Incredible review, amazing job. Since all my headphones are low impedance, this was really helpful.

The effort put into making this video is just amazing!

Your comparisons, and individual reviews, are the best being made!. I do wish you would include evaluation of the monitor outputs. It is an equally important metric.

Excelent review and display of the info, that was just one of the things I was worrying about this kind of price point interfaces, monitoring is really a serious thing, and when you think about it, most of the people start with one of this and a pair of headphones. Cheers, gj
