Analog To Digital Audio Recording

i am more concerned with sound quality.
i think m-audio will work as i am using mac os x.

i’ve been told that anything i buy from m-audio will sound bad.
i’ve been directed towards Apogee duet as an alternative.
anyone use that?

uggh why does everything have to be so expensive in audio biz?!?!?
Renoise is definately the best price/function in the universe.
i wish others would take note!
