There is no "secret" reason. I've used the Scarlett for a few years now, and I've found it satisfactory for everything I was doing so far. I recently learned about the RME, and I asked these questions to understand the outer boundary of the performance envelope of the RME. Sometimes, just reading the manual does not let me understand the limits of a new and very versatile piece of gear. Hence these questions. No clear practical application. (BTW, I found a used RME on sale for $1,100, and I've ordered it.)Both the Scarlett 2i2 and RME ADI-2 Pro FS are USB audio interfaces. Also don't know why you are writing about the one from RME. There could be another reason, which has not been shared with us.
I have a similar question about the Scarlett 2i2 4gen. (I have either the 2gen or 3gen.) I am seeing a 48V switch on the 2i2 4gen. Does this mean that I can either switch on phantom power for both inputs or neither? Can I feed a mic into one input with 48V phantom power and a line-level into the other? Will a normal line-level output of most appliances work if faced with 48V DC? Can't quite make out.
