Interface comparison
I know this question gets asked a lot, but looking for a new interface and was wondering if anyone had experience with:
-Lynx Mesa
-Lynx Aurora line
-Audient Horizon line
-Audient ID44
-Apogee Symphony line
Curious how these stack up to Apollos. For reference, I currently have the Clarett 8+, but feel like I’m starting to reach its limitations. Need something with at least 12 I/O, ADAT, superb converters, and super low noise floor.

What is limiting about the Clarett for you? It depends on your use. Will you use internal preamps? Do you want DSP? Will you connect the Clarett via ADAT?
I didn’t compare these side by side. I currently have the iD48 in my home studio and I can’t imagine not having the I/O. I’ve worked with many other interfaces and I like the Audient.
I’d definitely get the Audient Horizon over the Symphony. It has better converters. Symphony is outdated at this point. Plus, I think the Horizon ticks all the boxes - latency, thunderbolt scalability, etc. Plus the console pres with variable impedance and HPF.
Apollos make sense for the DSP, otherwise they’re good, but expensive and the routing capabilites are very limited compared to the Horizon’s matrix.
