Why MOTU 828 USB-C Interface Is Better
The MOTU 828 stands out by offering a complete professional studio solution in one box. While other interfaces may offer high channel counts, they often compromise on converter quality or DSP power. The 828 integrates top-tier ESS Sabre32™ DACs, typically found in much more expensive equipment, with a robust onboard DSP engine. This combination provides both pristine audio quality and powerful, latency-free processing for tracking and mixing. Coupled with MOTU's famously stable drivers and a durable steel construction, it offers a level of reliability and performance that is hard to match at its price point.
