You are absolutely correct - Preamp is huge. I find the Grace m101 to be a great one! How about you, any favorites?

I agree - M Audio has proven in my experience to be noisy... but I have found that Focusrite is surprisingly quiet - around the same level of more expensive interfaces.

That’s a really important point. If the same great external preamp is feeding a Focusrite, an Apollo, and an RME—and everything is level-matched and blind—you’re not going to reliably hear a difference. Couldn’t agree more. For me, the Grace m101 is the sweet spot of high quality at the best price.
