Hi b.l.zeebub,

beppe61 was looking for nice sounding ENTRY LEVEL firewire converters with balanced out.

In my opinion RME produces very good all round quality products and is famous for very good all round quality products like: features, number of channels, trouble free drivers and software, ect. But I don’t think RME is famous for delivering an exceptional price/performance ratio in terms of sound quality (sound per pound).

I stretched my recommendation a too the Steinberg MR816X (around 600 euro’s). That’s not entry level any more, but I did this because this unit has an unmatched and exceptional price/performance ratio on sound quality, never seen before. Hearing is believing.

Metric Halo isn’t an entry level unit. Depending on it’s configuration, it’s around 3000 plus euro’s. At this price level one should also listen too the Prism Orpheus. Both sound identical too me (I can’t keep them apart in listening sessions). Also at this price level one should listen too Weiss and the Apogee Symphony IO. May bee also to Universal Audio units.
Right now (anno 2012/2013) I prefer the Apogee Symphony IO at this price level.

At the mid-level price units: the Apogee Quartet (USB) is my favorite right now.
But I haven't auditioned the new Prism Lyra yet (also USB)
