I'm looking for a stereo audio input device with digital gain controls for high accuracy/repeatability.
I recently bought a Topping D10b DAC as output device (118db SINAD from Amir's measurements) and I'd be very happy with a similar input device with two mic/line preamps for loudspeaker and electronics measurements.
I currently use an RME Fireface UC in my studio, but I wanna be a bit more flexible (mobile). The Fireface was also RMA'd once, which seemed to have a negative effect on its SINAD(?), so I'd like in upgrade in that regard, ideally in the range of the Topping DAC at 118db.
To sum it up: A stereo input device with mic pres and digital gain controls with a SINAD of 105db or better.
I've looked at the babyface, which looks alright, but obviously has many more features that I don't need, so I'd rather spend my money to improve the features that I do need. And I'd like to keep it under 500$, which seemed to be an impossible task while searching on my own, but maybe you guys have a good suggestion I haven't come across yet.
Edit: just in case that this product does not exist, what would be the cheapest alternative of any input device with digital mic gains? I'd bin electronics measurements for the time being and just go with a portable speaker measurement setup.
I'm using an EMX7150 btw. I also have a UMIK-2, which works great when I'm not after .5db accuracy, but I'd love to have a more accurate setup available.
