Ah, so talking about boasting about it, Presonus has
an Audiobox USB
unit which boasts (to quote their website) "preamps that out perform any
USB-based interface hands down." None of the other manufacturers, as far
as I could see, even mentioned pre-amps except to say "yes, we have
them".
I have the Presonus TubePRE (not the AudioBox USB). Its pods are
crappy and squeak when adjusted. It is unlikely that I will
purchase another Presonus product as I was disappointed by the
quality.
While I have not done any critical a/b listening both the Alesis
io|2 and Presonus TubePRE sound good to me. Obviously only the
latter has the warming "tube" effect.
