Hi All,
I'm seriously considering an upgrade of my audio interface as I'm thinking one of these has got to sound much better than my current 10+ year old technology M-Audio 1010LT.
I've been looking at these two.
Behringer U-PHORIA UMC1820 USB Audio Interface https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-aud ... r1|ClickCP
And the Tascam US-16x08 USB Audio Interface https://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-aud ... ctads-adid^221957295818-device^c-plaid^323968843383-sku^J13884000000000@ADL4MF-adType^PLA
Both are offered at the same rather reasonable price, but it appears that the Tascam is a bit more bare bones and a total of 8 output channels + headphone which of course could also be used as additional 2 channels for mix down, but no SPDIF, while the Behringer has some extra features such as 10 output channels and SPDIF for a total of 12, and 2 sets of headphone jacks as well.
It looks like the Tascam has some interesting built in features that are adjustable via the control panel such as EQ and so on. I'm not sure about the Behringer though and what in addition it might come with as the info I found really doesn't state anything in particular or give any details.
I've read good and bad over the years on both brands. Just wondering who here might have experience with either of these, what else can you tell me about them, good bad or otherwise, and so on?
Thanks,
Marc
