I'm looking for a $500-ish sound card with at least 4 stereo ins and outs and at least one optical in. Don't need a ton of mic pres. Right now I'm looking at Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 and the PreSonus AudioBox1818 or the PreSonus Studio 192. Has anyone had experience with these cards and can you speak to the quality of DA/AD conversion? What about other quality issues? Any other cards you might recommend?
