M2 : Excellent Interface - best at this price

I got this about a month ago and it has been stellar. Previously, I was using a Roland Rubix 22.

The Motu M2 has been reviewed in considerable depth already, so there isn't anything new I can say about it. From my personal perspective it has been excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone on a budget.

PROS:

- Best at this price range in multiple categories: balance, headphone amp (internal impedance and output power), distortion, noise, frequency response

- Can drive my 470 ohm headphones

- Solid build quality (body feels robust, knobs are smooth and have adequate weight when turning them)

- macOS driver and software shaved off additional seconds from the overall delay time in my DAW - REMEMBER to install them if you are a mac user

- Loopback functionality

- Display is not necessary but cool to have and accurate as well

- On/Off button

CONS:

- Included USB cable is dangerously close to being too short
