Romy,I've been using the AFI1 for the last few months. I haven't done any detailed comparisons with my other two 'interfaces' (actually, they're multichannel ADC/DACs with AES ouputs), but I think the AFI1 is excellent.The only issue that I have with...

By the way, I just calculated. 22Hz x 440Hz / 44.1kHz = 0.21950137Hz. It means that offset of your Pacific cloak to 22Hz of sapling rate would lead to  0.22Hz offset of A tone. I truly do not feel that it has any practical influence. Particularly con...
