brace yourself, you're about to get a flurry for recommendations for the bluenode 2i indicating its an outstanding value in the under $1,000 (and even under $500) price range. In my experience you need to step up into the $2,000 range to get anything substantially better. So I guess I will be the first to recommend and then I will let others pile on ;-)
