Do yourself a favor and pass. Antelope Audio has a new interface (the discreet 4) with mic modeling and the best onboard dsp effects, including guitar amps and cabs, for $899 with the same # of inputs and far better other features. While this Arturia interface is quality, it is not worth $500. I wouldnt pay more than $350 for it, where as the Antelope Audio discreet 4 is worth twice the $899 asking price all day in my opinion.

Schemp74I investigated the Antelope discreet 4 and I am not impressed: - very expensive - outdated (Thunderbolt generation 1: they are joking!) - difficult to use on the road as it requires an external power supply - questionable feature set (4 headphones output: am I really paying for that?) - questionnable feature set #2: emulation of vintage microphones
I can't comment on audio quality of course, but everything suggests that the Arturia AudioFuse is a better product for the large majority of users. It certainly is for my needs.

jdmuysI personally own the antelope audio zen tour. Its about 2 grand though. Price wise its not near the arturia so I didn't mention it. Quality and features are amazing. Ive used many audio interfaces in my time and Antelope Audio is my choice but Im glad the Arturia works for you. I cant see a power supply being such an issue in 2020. There are many cheap laptop powered interfaces out there for whatever you need to do on the go. I wouldnt spend $600 for that feature. Audio quality is the most important feature if were being honest and in my experience, which is vast, Antelope is as good as it gets under 5 grand. Your not going to be recording instruments or vocals in a car or on a plane so why spend $600 for that option? Best for that is the ik multimedia i-rig pro hd. Powered by your laptop or phone and even has phantom power and dedicated headphone jack. Its very small and quality is great for the price. I got mine for $100 on sale and it came with $1500 of free software included at the time I purchased it.

The audio on my pc38x is not working
One day I just plugged in my Pc38x and they stopped working. I tested the mic and it works, I've tried changing the cord multiple times and have adjusted the volume disk, none of this has changed my situation. I've tested the headphones on my PC, switch, and PS5 and the audio doesn't work there either.

Meze 99 Noir
Heard a lot about these in the past few years, and they sound as good as they look. Deep bass, crystal clear midrange, and solid treble, overall superior sound. Great for multiple genres, special...

Hifiman x Dekoni Cobalt or Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir
Im looking to buy a set of closed back headphones under $200. So far the two main contenders are the Cobalt and Noir. Has anyone compared these two? which seems to be better? Both are around the same price. Ive heard the cobalt is lacking in bass, while thats not ideal im not too worried as I dont often listen to bassy music.

Xduoo Poke II repair
Hi friends, I recently had a mishap with my Xduoo Poke II, that is, it fell out of my hands and now it turns on but the command buttons now work sometimes and sometimes not. I have written several times to Xduoo directly because it was with them that I bought this Dac and to find out what I can do about it but after two months I have not received a response. I live in Mexico City but I would like to know if anyone knows of a technical service in the US that could repair my Poke II and know if it would be worth it for me taking into account the cost of repair and the issue of shipping, or if it is better to think about buying a new portable Dac. Thanks and Cheers everybody.
