2 : A very impressive audio interface from SSL!

What a time we live in! Having a device with an SSL name on a home studio desk for €199? Wow!

Ok, emotions and brand power aside, the SSL 2 really is an impressive little interface.

The converters sound nice and clean, both on the input and the output. It was an immediate improvement over my old DAC, which was no slouch, mind you.

On the input side, the 4K switch adds a nice little airy coloration/distortion which can sound nice depending on the source.

Build quality wise it's very impressive. I very much like the classic SSL knobs look and the main volume knob is nice and chunky and feels great to the touch. The rest of the interface is precisely built and feels sturdy and massive enough, especially for the price.

All in all, I love it!
