Thread Starter | Motu 8pre vs M-Audio Profire 2626
Hey guys, looking for some advice on a new interface. The additional outputs on the pf2626 would be nice, but which one actually sounds better? Any other comments are greatly appreciated too. Cheers |

just got the 2626 and it sounds great. i was looking between the same 2 units ( and a couple others) and if you search some threads around here the 2626 came up head-n-shoulders above the MOTU.

I just got a Profire 2626 and instantly noticed better conversion than my old Firepod that I sold. I still have never even used the preamps cause I have other outboard pre's. I'm looking at getting a Mytek 8x96 to use with the ADAT in's.

friend of mine had one for a while. he loved the "hands-on" you get from it but never said anything about the converters or pre's on it. I've personally never heard or demo'd one. i do know if you go thru GC Pro you can haggle the price down. i got a pretty good deal on mine. i haven't used my pre's yet either. my band hasn't practiced since i got it and everything else i do is techno. |

I just recently heard some not so good things about the Dice2 technology used in the 2626, see this thread: Home Recording dot com BBS But I was wondering if anyone has compared these two units because I'm interested in the difference in preamp/converter quality (if there is any noticeable difference). After reading a bit through the threads Bitfiend posted it seems the 8pre may be lacking in this area... ? Is it worth rolling the "dice" so to speak and take a chance with the 2626? If I do get that I may get it through GC so I can promptly return it if I have any issues. -tkr
