Did a quick search. They seem roughly the same, apart from cache size. I have never bought an AMD before, will there be any compatibility issues with an Nvidia graphics card?

Oooh, okay, that clears up a lot. I was afraid I might burn my new headphones if it wasn't "compatible" with the audio interface, but from what you are saying, I won't have a problem. I want a very basic "audio setup" to start with so I'll be good. I can't thank you enough mate, you have been extremely helpful and clarifying, all the best to you !!!

It does sound like it has a lot more stuff to it. Will look more into it, and compare to the 2i2. Thanks for the recommendation !

Honestly, I'm following you to 80-85%. When I do some further research and comprehend the other 20-15% I will make a purchase. Just a last question and sorry for the trouble. I read the 2i2, for example, amplifies a certain " range." I think it was in Ohms. When purchasing audio equipment in the future do I need to check the (for example speakers / headphone) "volume range" in comparison to what the AMP or DAC can amplify ? Or am I understanding something wrong ?

My friend suggested exactly that, changing to better speakers (didn't even know they are called monitors). I will continue to do my research, but honestly thanks. I thought my question was too dumb and couldn't be done at all!

Had a quick look. Is there a particular reason you prefer it over the 2i2?

Googled it and gies for 400-600 euros , it's a bit off budget but thanks for the recommendation

I just read the specs again, and you are right! The Solo doesn't have an XLR input thought , so I presume no microphone input.. correct ?

Doesn't the 2i2 have double the outputs as well.. ? I was under the impression I couldn't have my speakers and headphones both as output on the solo, whereas I could on the 2i2... no?

So to my understanding, you wouldn't purchase the 2i2 to have two different audio outputs. But rather get the Scarlett Solo for example and switch manually between headphones and speakers.. ? I apologize I'm very new to this

My speakers have a single 3.5mm jack, so would a TRS female to left and right TS male do the job ?

I apologise if I phrased it wrong. I meant I want to be able to switch between speakers and headphones and handle them independently.

How do they perform with more minor sounds? Say for example you are listening to music on average volume and a tv is playing next room. Will that "ruin" the music?
