For those that don't know--
The "partnering" of Digi and Focusrite was based on a licensing agreement allowing Digi to use the Focusrite name...so those "Focusrite" preamps are really just BASED on Focusrite designs but entirely manufactured by Digi.
Even if you feel that this is a load of crap...do you REALLY think the preamps on ANY of the gear available today through Digi, M-Audio, Presonus, Tascam, or any of it are actually great preamps? I don't, and won't track through any of them no matter who's name is on them.
Aside from that, all the posts flaming Digi for the 003 seem like we were waiting for the heavens to part and a choir to sing down on the new product. With expectations like that...of course we're disappointed. There's no such thing as a perfect product.
