Martin -- You will probably receive a wide range of recommendations from this list. I too have had the same RME Fireface 800 and been very happy with it for many years. But it appears to have failed a second time, so I've moved on. The only acceptable quality in your stated price range is probably a few channels of Focusrite. You can find used Firface 800's on e-Bay close to your price range. I have had successful dealings with numerous pro audio retailers over three decades. I can recommend Sweetwater for honesty, flexibility, reasonable prices and commitment to follow up support. (Disclaimer. I once won a very nice large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone in their monthly promotional contests, now discontinued.) FYI, I went with MOTU but lost a deal of flexibility found in a true multi-channel rack like the 800.
