So if a guy wants better sound quality, he can either spend $300 on the mod, or throw away $500 by selling the motu, and then spend $3k on an Aurora? What if that guy skipped the Aurora, spent the $2.7K ($300 goes to the motu mod) on a couple of better mics or pres? Wouldn't this combination produce better sound? At some point, we must look at the big picture, rather than just one isolated component. For a guy trying to work within a budget, spending $3k on an Aurora, and skimping on the rest of the recording chain, would be a perfect example of 'throwing good money after bad'.
