Well, there is what's on paper and what you actually hear. Take your favorite CD for example. Now copy that CD to a CD-R. Now copy that copy. On paper, all discs sound exactly the same. Right? But if you listen, you will find the copy doesn't sound that great. But that's impossible! It's just a copy of ones and zeroes, right? Other things are at play here. You have two ****** DACs (and keep in mind I have and use one of them) which sound great for voice over or spraying your juices on chaturbate to then be compressed to your viewers and fan base (are we getting good signal-to-noise ratio in capturing those moans and when the fluids hit the lens?) but if we are capturing a symphony orchestra or an opera singer or some rare archival-level ethno recording...in short, when you are really recording, you may want to reach for something a little nicer. These are two hundred dollar components, are they shielded? Did the manufacturer cheap out anywhere? Was everything perfectly assembled? Is the firmware okay? Because if I am really recording something important, I don't want to worry about this. "Oh but the graph says..." yeah, whatever. Which captures the squelching of your juices better, the audient or motu? Does it matter? Depends whose juices I guess..Lots of things look great on paper, but in reality are not. There's 'good enough', which is fine. I don't mind a little cheap and dirty sometimes, but if I am really recording for keeps...
