I'm aware of that, but thing is that I don't really need a pro sound
device (at least I think so :)). I rarely do recordings and need
something that will be OK for onstage laptop output, MIDI I/O and
general music listening.
"On-stage" is a fairly demanding use-case. You want to blast away the audience
with good music, not with hiss and crackles and noise.
*jedi mind trick* you definitely want a device that has balanced outputs.
