It has to be coil whine,., I fucking hate it. It's not loud, but if u get close u hear it,. I dont want another source of whine in my room.
I dont know what to do now, Either return it get another sample, or get another MORE expensive interface....
I fuckign hate this. ALways same fucking issue wiht hardware, GPUs, PSUs, SPEAKERS, and now this fucking interface.
Sry for hte swearingm, btu im really mad. I sent my apogee symphony desktop back today, realizing how freaking good this neumann mt48 sounds. I thought this is my new interdface till i just now listend for noise......

I return that neumann anyways, it has a very small dynamic headroom of +12db., My apogee symphony had +20. And Rme ucx2 has +18.
My audio clips much easier,. SCrew that interface!
I ordered the rme

Which RME?
 
rme ucx 2. Has more dynamic headroom than the babyface, and more EQ and some other usefull DSP features
 
ok second unit arrived. whine sound is there, but it'os much quieter. uqesiton is should i still send it to neuman 'rma' asking them to kill the noise compltely, make it dead silent.
 
after testing the rm ucx2, and disliking the lack of full bass and clarity, i returned that one too.
I've now ordered a Prism Sound Lyra 2. Too expenive, but anything below the mt48 price was horrible, especially budget interfaces they all sound tinny. It is what it is. Wish me luck./

Oh yeah and I was recommended the Lynx Hilo Mesa, but unfortunately it only connects to the pc via thunderbolt, which my pc doesnt have. What a pitty.
