I'm looking for a 2x2 audio interface.
A “2x2 audio interface” refers to an audio interface with two input channels and two output channels. This means it can handle two separate audio signals coming in (e.g., microphones or instruments) and send out two separate audio signals (e.g., to monitors or headphones).
4 options I'm considering (in no particular order):
1. Topping E2x2
- Buy direct from aliexpress for CDN$230
- AudioScienceReview - Oct 2023
2. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Gen 3 (Previous Gen)
- Outdated, since Gen 4 came out
- Long-MCquade CDN$270
- AudioScienceReview - Oct 2019
3. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Audio Interface Gen 4 (Current Gen)
- Long-Mcquade CDN$290
- No ASR review
4. Motu M2
- Long-Mcquade CDN$270

I listen to IEMs a lot, but not very loud.
Primary purpose would be for recording of voice, using dynamic microphone, hence the interface.
Primarily for MacOS.
Which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance.
