    A have more high, but it sounds empty or kind of scooped, while B is more focused and have more mids and generally have more bite, i can clearly hear "better" more sustained vocals on B, while on A it's kind of lose.

    That being said, nothing a good mix can't fix, i mean after all that's the "sound guy" s job.

    i did hear "clear enough" difference between the two (even through youtube, probably if i use your link i'll hear even more), but again not to justify the big difference in price, anyway best bang for the buck is still audient for me, it is ahead of all mid range interfaces, and absolutely destroys Focusrite... UAD on the other hand is in another league due to their full ecosystem which i like and plan to migrate to whenever possible.

    Makes sense that interface A is the Tascam after referencing my memory from the DA88 era of Tascam Pro analog recording consoles. Detailed tone with depth. The earlier Tascam production analog consoles had an even bigger sound.
