U-Phoria UM2 : Best budget USB interface?

To be totally honest I'm finding it difficult to fault the Behringer. The build quality is solid and compact, the unit itself is tiny which is always a plus in this field. Especially when you're managing lots of kit in limited spaces. The interface is literally plug and play which bypasses an confusion for a beginner too which is a bonus!

The quality and clarity of the audio captured through it could easily be likened to a much more expensive interface. But when you consider this is a ¤39/£30 piece of kit the quality and features it boasts are astounding really. I did a lot of reading on interfaces prior to buying this one and I have to say for the price point I couldn't find a alternative that matched it's featured never mind bettering them. With phantom power, direct monitoring and clipping lights all at this price it's a no brainer really.

If this was to break I'd buy a replacement without a second thought. Lovely piece of kit for the musician on a budget.
