Just got this device, and my immediate impressions are pretty fantastic. Upgrading from an Audient Evo 4 which had some limitations and annoying driver issues for me as a Windows user. My use case is using it for an xlr mic for Discord and recording, recording electric guitar, and light general music production. I've come to realize that even small annoyances can add up to affect your productivity and workflow, and I wanted something that just works with no fuss. The metal construction of the M2 feels much more professional, and while it lacks "smart gain" of the Evo the clearly labeled knobs on front plus the visual metering display makes setting everything up straightforward compared to a single knob device. After installing drivers first like the instructions say and plugging it in, everything just works. Set itself up nicely, no issues with desynced sample rates like I had with the Evo (I could play audio through my DAW and browser simultaneously). Software is extremely simple with just options to set up sample rate and buffer, as well as the ability to toggle on and off the sample rate sync and enable lowest possible latency if your machine can handle it without hiccups. Loopback is handled through extra audio devices in windows, no software mixer like the Evo, but it seems to just mirror your pc output exactly and leaves little room for confusion. It also has a separate headphone amp, so you can simultaneously play audio through your speakers and headphones or switch at ease (the Evo mutes your speakers if your headphones are plugged in, requiring you to unplug them to switch back)Overall, I'm just impressed about how seamlessly this device just works. I pretty much just installed the drivers, rebooted, plugged the MOTU in, and tested all of my use cases. Got all of my usual levels set and now I'm happy. I feel like I don't have to worry about messing with my interface at all, it just works. If I don't come back and update this review, assume it's doing just fine and I'm not thinking about it too much.

Iâve been an audiophile for over five years and stepped up the costly ladder of âthe audio experienceâ spending thousands on equipment.Donât think Iâm trying to say the Motu M2 is comparable to a high-end setup all-in-one, but dang it had me impressed.My pre-disposed view on ESS Sabre DACâs utilizing their stock internal filters is a negative one. I expect delta-sigma typical ring from the mediocre oversampling filters and a blatantly colored response.Fortunately, I wasnât disappointed when I used the integrated ESS DAC from the Motu on my main system (driving Hifiman He1000v1âs with a restored Harman Kardon HK770). The DAC is actually pretty good! Not unjustly sibilant or colored, very impressive for a DAC, especially one thatâs integrated into an audio interface!Now the pre-amp. For the actual monitor outs, the pre is very clean and low noise floor. Itâs easy to say this because outputting into a speaker amplifier to drive headphones doesnât create static galore. Other than low noise floor, the pre is fairly linear. Not perfect, but great for a passive potentiometer thatâs integrated into an interface.The pre-amplifier for the microphone is... Interesting. I love it, but I must clarify that it clearly has a warm, tube-like tonality to it. This isnât muddy. For better perspective, it takes my condenser and sustains the resolving quality that condensers are known for, but gives a tubey or dynamic (diaphragm) like tonality which is very rich and sweet. There doesnât seem to be clear delineation, yet there is still this slight tonality change. I am very open arms to it, and it is apparently a commonly known thing to people that have used Motu equipment in general.In summary of that, if you want a tubey sounding solid state mic pre, this is actually a perfect fit. That wasnât my intent when Iâve purchased it, but it made me much happier with how my voice is picked up (no EQ) anyways, so itâs a win.Now the headphone output. I havenât actually played with it! I do know it has 3x the power of a Focusrite headphone out, and seemingly even more dynamics potential than those possible âunder-ratingsâ. Basically, if youâre going to drive low impedance closed dynamic driver cans for voice sampling or anything else where you need real-time mic feedback and sample audio, the integrated amp is actually decent! A friend of mine says it can drive his Hifiman Aryas surprisingly well. I still havenât messed with it but I trust his word.If you have a strong focus on studio use or streaming use even, and are told you need an amp and DAC for your headphones that is separate from your interface, normally, those people are right! However, the Motu M2 is super practical as an alternative unless you have very hard to drive planars.If you want a temporary solution and need to upgrade the headphone amp alone, you can utilize the DAC without passing through the potentiometer if you get the Motu M4 and use the fixed line out to utilize the DAC and mic pre directly.I have previously owned (and still have) a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen. In no way does that interface have any strong suits for an audiophile like myself, and every part of it, including the software, is fairly bad and not worth its value.If youâre skeptical of spending a little more for a SOLID all-around interface like the Motu M2/M4, heed this. It is ABSOLUTELY worth it. I say that in utmost confidence, based on all aspects of itsâ functionality.Thereâs more I could say, but itâs really just better to not look the gift horse in the mouth. The fact that this interface performs this well for itsâ cost is fantastic and I couldnât recommend it more.No, this isnât a sales pitch, I donât work for Motu nor am I affiliated with them. Iâm just a happy audiophile that was really impressed by entry-mid level gear that shouldnât be as good as it is.Trust me. If it matters to you at all, once you know how great these are, youâll shill them too.
