Where each one actually leads

Every axis is scored out of 10 from the catalog specs below. The scores are relative to the products on this page, so a 10 means “best of these”, not “perfect”, and two identical columns mean the catalog genuinely cannot separate them. Axes the catalog holds no figure for on both sides are left off entirely rather than guessed at.

The Split

What each one wins

EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface

Desktop audio interface intended for creator workflows, microphone input, monitoring, and clean signal routing.

On paper the EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface takes sample rate (192kHz, +96kHz). It gives up ADAT expansion and preamp gain to the Audient iD24. It is the cheaper of the two, by $200.00.

Leads on

  • Sample Rate +96kHz
    192kHz
    96kHz

    Higher sample rates capture more audio detail — important for professional recording and mixing.

Audient iD24

Pro-level USB-C audio interface with strong preamps, monitor control, and expandable I/O.

On paper the Audient iD24 takes ADAT expansion (Yes), preamp gain (68dB, +10dB) and dynamic range (122dB, +9dB). It gives up sample rate to the EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface. That costs $200.00 more than the EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface.

Leads on

  • ADAT Expansion
    Yes
    No

    ADAT lets you add eight more inputs later instead of replacing the interface.

  • Preamp Gain +10dB
    68dB
    58dB

    More gain drives quiet dynamic microphones like the SM7B without a separate booster.

  • Dynamic Range +9dB
    122dB
    113dB

    Wider converter dynamic range means less noise between the quietest and loudest parts of a take.

Where they’re identical

These 10 specs are the same on both of them, so none of it is part of the decision.

  • Connection Type usb-c, xlr, trs
  • Bit Depth 24-bit
  • Phantom Power Yes
  • XLR Inputs 2
  • Headphone Outputs 2
  • Direct Monitoring Yes
  • Loopback Yes
  • MIDI I/O None
  • Bus Powered Yes

Bottom Line

Who each one is for

The Audient iD24 is the pick on the specs the catalog holds, but “better on paper” and “right for you” are different questions. Each case below names what the product is actually good at and who that suits.

The alternative

At $199.00, the EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface is the most affordable option — 50% less than the priciest pick. It leads in sample rate (192kHz). Covers the essentials without stretching your budget.

  • + Higher sample rate (192kHz vs 96kHz)
  • × Weaker dynamic range (113dB vs 122dB)
  • × Weaker preamp gain (58dB vs 68dB)
  • × Weaker ADAT expansion (No vs Yes)

Also worth knowing

  • ✓ You want 192kHz sample rate for higher-resolution audio
  • ✓ Budget is your top priority — $200.00 less than the priciest option

Look elsewhere if

  • × You need the best dynamic range available
  • × You need the best preamp gain available

Best for budget-conscious creators, high-resolution audio production.
