The Ruling

EVO 4x4 USB-C Audio Interface or SSL Origin 2x2 USB Audio Interface? Evenly matched.

Nothing on the chart above separates them: on every axis the catalog can score, the two land close enough that calling a winner would be reading noise — and they cost the same. Go on brand preference, warranty, or whichever you can get first.

At a Glance

How closely these two line up

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.
