Does anyone have any recommendations for an audio interface with XLR output that either has USB and/or optical input?

I am using the Emotiva DC-1 DAC with XLR outs and USB in along with an Emotiva Control Freak volume control. Love the combination and my computer audio files (flac and mp3) have never sounded better. I am also using the Presonus Tremblor T10 subwoofer. Love it's on/off foot peddle.

I run the presonus eris e5 monitors through a m-audio usb interface. I run xlr out of the interface to xlr inputs on the monitors. While the m-audio interface has xlr and trs inputs, I am able to run all my usb inputs via my computer usb inputs perfectly. I am currently running a usb synth and alesis dm10 drum kit through usb.

If you have a USB interface, u could bring out XLR, 1/4 inch or Red and White to that. The Unit it self does not have a USB on it. This is more for live concerts or shows.Contact me Directly if you have further questions or if you are in need of assistance.Khogan1784@me.com

An XLR to USB "cable" is much more than just a cable. It has an analog-to-digital converter, and that converter needs to see the right audio level to operate correctly. If the cable you have works with a microphone, then it will work with this product; the output of the Box with a bass plugged into it will be at approximately microphone level.

I advise Scarlett 2i4 if you need 2 separate outputs for DJing, NI does the same but I had glitches on this soundcard.Roland is decent choice for sure, had good experience with M-Audio too.

I recommend the focusrite 2i2. Great little 2 input interface that will do the job well.

There is a line level out which you can run straight into your pc. Just remember it'll be mono. You don't NEED an audio interface. Most PCs have a line level or microphone input you could use. The quality would be better with an audio interface. It is likely not needed to make this work though.

Yes, a simple XLR cable into a preamp will do the trick. No other converters needed (as long as you have an audio interface of course).

I'm assuming you mean that your interface does not have XLR Jacks? You'll probably need a couple balanced XLR to TRS cables. Like this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BPBQXM5/

I used the optical stereo cable and had very good results. That might be a better option.

Yes, they allow xlr, 1/4" and speakon all in one strange universal socket. It's a good interface. I'm using it with an iMac and Logic Pro X. Couldn't be happier.

It doesn't have XLR but you can buy something. I use BeachTek which works really well. BeachTek DXA-2T Universal Audio Adapter for Compact Camcorders

It depends of the source. If you want to Digital to Analog from a USB or a toslink connection I would recommend Audioengine D1. I have several of their products and I really like the quality. I have an ARCAM rPac but the out put is RCA. If your headphones are Bluethoot the ARCAM rBlink seems to be a possible solution. All depends from your equipment (source and headphones).

You need an interface, and it depends what are you using it for, multitrack recording or just one input. Personus makes nice affordable interfaces, but there are others.

I agree with the first person who answered your question. And, yes, you do need an interface (which changes the analog signal of your mic into a digital signal for your computer). I use the Lexicon Alpha...it's cheaper than the Scarlett and does the job; however, it does NOT have phantom power (which your mic needs), but if you're going to get the DBX 286s (which is fantastic preamp/processor, by the way), then that problem will be taken care of. If you decide not to get the dbx unit, then the Scarlett 2i4 interface is the way to go.

The Behringer Xenyx 1202 does not have the USB interface. It does have RCA jacks that interface directly to a computer sound card, or you can get a USB adapter. I have used both the Behringer UCA222 and the Dell line input of my sound card for good results with this mixer. If you would prefer, there is a version of this mixer (I believe it to be the Behringer 1204) that has the build in USB interface.

I bought a MIDI to USB connector, but I could never get it to actually connect to my computer. Also, it only has an output, not an input.
