M2 : Amazing audio interface

Only audio card I could find with a choice between phono or balanced TRS for outputs, which makes it really versatile.

Generally I really like the features: clear vu-meter, extra loopbacks with MOTU's driver, super low latency, solid build, direct monitoring, volume knob...

These features make that audio interface very versatile: can do instrument recording but also DJing, podcasting, audiophile playback, MIDI interface and more.

I bought an M2 at the time where the M4 was unavailable on the long term due to component shortage - just be aware that with the M2 you can't have headphones monitoring separate from master out, unless you use two mono channels. E.g. for DJing applications you might want an M4 if you want to separate monitoring and master out in stereo.

The audio quality is pristine as far as I can tell for what I do with it.

The price seems good value for the quality and the breadth of what can be done with it.
