Im buying an interface and have some questions.

I have decided to start out buying the PreSonus Firestudio interface for my home recording setup. Its cheap I heard it works great and its easy to use, which is awesome since Im a beginner. My plan is to start simple, figure out the basics and then upgrade accordingly as I learn more. Right now however I have a couple questions that need to be answered before I go spend $400.

Do I need an audio interface if I have a/d d/a converters?

Hi. Just a basic question. I have a PreSonus firebox and a firestudio. I am going to buy some high quality a/d d/a converters (Not sure which ones. Thinking of getting a Universal Audio 2192 for now, but am also looking at the Apogeeda x16 and ad x16 and an RME 8 QS M) and some preamps (api 3124, Neve 2-610). Do I need an audio interface, or do the converters work in their stead?
