Let's address the construction first. The EVO series are made from plastic and not metal. I've owned three Focusrite Scarlett series interfaces and these were made of metal. But, really, I've never needed the protection or ruggedness of metal - so the EVO 8's build material shouldn't ever be a problem for me.
thereafter, it's really easy - the features, the relatively low latency drivers, the EVO Software app - these are all excellent and, at this price point, put the EVO 8 at the top of any short list for consideration.
The audio quality sounds very, very clean - I've only used the unit for a few weeks, but so far, so good.
One minor caveat - be sure of your USB-C power and cabling - if you don't provide enough power, the EVO 8 cannot deliver phantom power to all four microphone preamps - so do your homework, and get the cabling right.
Happy to have purchased this.

Description
The ultimate studio preamp expander is here: EVO SP8 is the perfect partner for expanding your existing audio setup. Eight intelligent EVO preamps that self-adjust their levels with Smartgain, advanced 32-bit AD/DA converter technology, versatile I/O connections, two JFET instrument inputs and the all-new, groundbreaking Motion UI control system give EVO SP8 exceptional performance across the board. Larger sessions require more channels and expanding an existing audio interface via ADAT is a cost-effective solution to expanding the setup. EVO SP8 offers eight mic/line inputs, eight line outputs and 2 x ADAT connectors, providing enough connections to easily handle multi-mic sessions such as drum recording or full band recording. Eight sonically impressive EVO preamplifiers effortlessly control every recording level via Smartgain and deliver professional results under all conditions. Taking into account the manufacturer's 25 years of experience, the analog microphone preamplifiers from EVO SP8 were developed to capture all signals as precisely, cleanly and true to the original as possible. In the studio, sound is everything, and the EVO SP8's powerful 32-bit AD/DA converters ensure audio is heard accurately every time, whether music is being recorded or mixed with external outboard equipment. Better converters mean better audio - this helps make creative decisions faster, identify problems and optimize the entire recording workflow.
