Sunbuck 2024 2i2 Audio Interface, 24Bit/192kHz High-Fidelity, Studio Quality Recording, AIR Mode Add More Extra Clarity for Recording Music, with XLR/48V Phantom Power, Mini and Portable

Yes, there are alot of options for interfaces these days and options like this popup quite a bit. That being said, this one is just as good as the others in my opinion if you are just needing basic recording. I normally use a Black Lion Audio modded Digi003 rack with my MacBook for mobile recording and Logic for my DAW. While in the middle of a session, I plugged in the Sunbuck (Crimson) interface and the mac instantly recognized it as an audio option. I was able to switch to it while in session surprisingly! So, as far as compatibility, this seems to be fully compatible and didn't need any any downloads or drivers. I recorded a stereo mic setup for acoustic with the 2 inputs and with a little playing with the gain staging, was able to get a solid, high fidelity, low noise recording. With any interface, if you use plugins on the master buss or track itself, it can introduce latency. This interface does have a "direct monitoring" button that allows you to hear the dry signal coming into the interface. You don't even need to have a DAW open to hear the dry signal so it is indeed zero latency. It has an "AIR" button but i didn't really hear a difference when engaged. As far as build, it is a metal body and feels nice and solid. Nothing rattling around in there. (It feels similar to a more well known interface that is the same color.) So, with that and the ability to record at higher bandwidths make this a decent contender for a 2 channel interface in my opinion. Its very simple, small, and lighter to carry than my digi003 so, for just capturing quick ideas or for a simple podcast with 2 channels, this would be fine. Up to you if you feel this is a good value for the price. At the time of this review, the Sunbuck 2024 2i2 interface JSU606 was $79.99.
