If I was to connect a Neumann TLM 102 Condenser Microphone into a more affordable USB audio interface such as:

Would the Mic's quality be undermined by the USB interface?
If so, is there something that someone could recommend that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
PS. I want to hook it up with:

and it also needs to have at least 2 analog mic inputs

my budget for the converter would be under $350. I was looking at this one:

can it only be used with cakewalk or can I use it with other programs as well? Could you recommend a good one around this price point? My main desire is high quality sound and two mic inputs, it doesnt have to have a ton of features

Hahah, I see that now. I like the look of that Impact Twin that you recommended. I don't really understand the difference between Firewire and USB though. I have both so it isn't a worry, what are advantages/disadvantages of each though?
