Great Basic/First Interface
This was my first interface. I was initially attracted to this because of that big monitor knob, something I wish more interfaces in this price range would integrate. At the time, this was perfect for my setup based almost entirely around my PC, the interface was really just for the sound quality increase and to solve latency I had from the built-in soundcard. As I expanded out of my software-based production, the 1/4 inch and XLR inputs became useful.

Works perfectly. Cheapest USB-C interface you'll get with this level of quality.
Nice interface for those that only need two inputs. The Crystal Mic Pre-amp works fine and the instrument line in works without any noise or artifacts with my guitar plugged in. I usually record at 24bit/96kHz and this has worked without any problem what so ever. Nice to be able to connect the interface directly into the USB-C input on my MacBook Pro, as it only has USB-C/Thunderbolt inputs. Both USB-C and regular USB cables are included, but they could easily have been a bit longer!
But, bottom line is: Incredible value for the money. Nice set of plugins from Air Music tech also included ($300 value).

Best Dac
This was my 2nd audio interface , it has a great pre-amp for microphones and no hissing or humming sounds from the signal which produces cleanest signal you can get. i use it with my both headphones and monitors.

THE BEST
I bought this interface to connect my KRK RP5 RoKit G3 and the truth that very well. The only downside that thomann I put is its slow installation of drivers and that at the beginning of its use, the pc does not detect it very well. I decided to buy this interface because of its design (I loved its huge volume leveler in the center), in addition to the thomann entrances and exits and where they were located. I like the exits in the back because the cables are less exposed, that is, more sheltered. Very good quality and very good price. I recommend it!

Good interface but bad windows driver
Great sounding interface. the usb c connector cuts down on delay, but it has a terrible driver for windows had to use asio4all to get it to work. it works fine on linux and I would assume it works fine on mac.
