I'm aware of your opinion, that the higher sampling rates are useless. However I disagree, not every application of an audio-interface deals with music recording. There's lots of fun stuff one can do, e.g. creating patterns on a water surface, using the device as a multi-channel oscilloscope, ..., (or trying to proof to your friends that it doesn't make a difference for music recording :) ). And the hardware monitors are nice if your recording during a rehearsal weekend and you want to be able to disconnect your laptop, still allowing rehearsal without having to change the wiring. I agree, that it's not necessary, however it is convenient in that situation. Latency is low enough to allow for software monitoring. > The only drawback of the Focusrite IMO is the sound quality.

In one of these post-sale polls I noted that I can't recommend it for Linux users and the response was simply that it's my fault, as the web page clearly says, that they are not supporting Linux. They don't want me as a customer, no problem for me.
