    haven't used the firebox but i am a proud audiofire 2 owner and definitely stand by it, especially because you can get it on ebay for around $160. it's tiny, super loud (for me at least, only been at it for a year so i haven't become a deaf dj quite yet), comes in a just about indestructible metal case and looks really sleek and cool in a digital set up. plus, if you get it new it comes with a 10-foot firewire cable so you can put it anywhere. if price is a factor at all it's the way to go.

    I really like my Firebox, but I have not tried the AudioFire2 yet.

    The Firebox just bleeds crazy power from it. I'm scared to even put it above half on master and 1/3 on phono cuz it might blast my speakers if I'm not careful. I really love the firewire on it, zero latency even when I'm chaining a 320GB firewire hard-drive into it. I've started to use the instrument plugs on the front as well and they are really loud with a really crisp sound to them.

    Overall, I'm very happy with mine and I got it for a sweet price (250$ Cad)

    I own a firebox, i think that says it all

    As said above the VCI-100 is so loud if you dont turn down the outputs then it will be too loud, too much power is better than too little if you ask me. With a unit made for djing you cant turn the output up to suit studio gear but you can turn studio gear down to suit dj gear
