I think it was this one that Dave linked to before, without the surround sound feature.

That's the chaps Wonks. Geez! Even cheaper than I remember, must get a spare.
Dave.

My vote too. I'd have full confidence it will work as perfectly after the 150th gig as the fifth gig. I wouldn't feel that way about the teknet product... or anything with minijack sockets.

But why replace one external box (a 2i2) with another one doing just the same thing for £255+?
It might answer someone else's question, but it doesn't help the OP.
Reliably fallible.
Re: USB > XLR Simple Interface
I agree it's semi duplication... but the Radial is ruggedised in a way the 2i2 isn't and will survive fast and heavy-handed rigging/de-rigging with standard XLR cables which seemed to be a requirement.

Re: USB > XLR Simple Interface
One other alternative would be a good line/headphone DAC, as has been suggested.
I don't know the market well, but I use the superb Roland UA-M10 here. They are small, rugged, and sound excellent, but are sadly discontinued.
It can run headphones or line-level, and has a balanced output option (which would require 3.5mm to XLR cables).
A little-known gem IMO, I found mine on clearance and bought two immediately. I believe they can still be found for about $200. Mac support goes up to Mojave only, according to the website.
