Hi Erik, I've always found that the best way to low noise is to keep the analog audio out of the computer, Mac or PC. The insides of a computer are a very RF rich environment that frequently causes noise in the audio. As to which interface, it depends on how many channels you need. For two channels, I favor the Apogee Duet, now in model 2 configuration. It's simple, compact elegant and sounds good. It's also about $600. Being somewhat budget constrained, and not doing much multi-track, my interface for that is an older MOTU 896. Not the greatest performer initially, after being modified by Black Lion Audio, it was a whole new machine. Interestingly enough, the modifications were all to the analog sections, an area that frequently is the Achilles heel of processors. You might look at the newer version. I understand they a much better than a stock mk 1. There is also a version without mic preamps if that better suits your needs. As always, your mileage may vary. BTW, I have been doing all my recording with the Mac for a very long time.
