Hi there!
i was just about to buy me the m-audio audiophile usb interface when a local apple dealer told me that the compatibility between a macintosh and any interface except for emagic stuff is null! is that true? the real problem here is that the emagic 6/2 interface costs a hundred bucks more than the audiophile interface! does anybody have experiences, good or bad? how about this story,does he just want to sell emagic stuff, or is it true? |

What App are you using it with? Rickenbacker is not quite giving you a fair assessment of issues with the hardware. I found people complaining about the emi 6/2 at the first place I looked. (http://forum.cubase.net/forum/Forum1/HTML/016766.html)
It is prolly safe to say that this is the exception and not the norm though. Most USB audio devices work fine. Some are better than others. The EMI 6/2 *is* prolly better than the audiophile but $100's of dollars better? I doubt it. But since I never A/B'd them, I really don't know. The real easy answer: (1) Check the return policy wherever you buy it from and see how long their return window is. (2) Buy the Audiophile and play with it. If it flakes up or doesn't meet your standards: (3.a) Return it and buy the EMI 6/2 or (3.b) Keep it and know that you made the most economic decision based on experience with the product. Good Luck...! Happy Holiday!
