This beautiful thing makes me want to play music all the time. Coming from a Clarett 4 pre usb and don’t think I’m ever going back to those interfaces. I connected it to my Mac Studio Max M1 and Voila!!!
Pleasant, studio ready sound for my Bass and Guitars. My 2 microphones sound different now (m201 & md421) so I discovered new placements for my cabinets. DI is not clipping and I prefer the sound of the 88M over 2 other DI devices I already have (radial and neve). Finally there is quite a lot of headroom I had no problems whatsoever. I can easily record my sound at -12 to -14 db but If you really want to push the preamps without clipping I would suggest a mic attenuator. Anyway I believe this is a lifetime interface, an investment. Super Giga happy with this purchase:)
