Upgrading from M-Audio 2626, plz help me identify a new interface

I have an old DAW system using Win7, Sonar Cakewalk 8.5 and a M-Audio 2626 (firewire).

I plan to retire my old hardware and move to a newer system with Win10, newest Cakewalk (while it still runs), also migrate to a new DAW over time (maybe Cubase). The new system will most likely NOT have Firewire, so I'll need a new audio interface.

upgrading interface - apollo 16 or Avid i/o 16x16 or 8x8x8?

hi, i'm planning on upgrading my interface and was planning on going with apollo 16 but i was reading online the sound quality is not noticeably better and for $3000 i want it to sound better than my firestudio projects.

i use logic and was wondering if maybe going Avid hardware is the way to go?

Upgrading mic preamps ?

Hi everyone, I'm finally in a position to upgrade my microphone preamp but I'm finding it difficult to make a decision on what's available within my budget. I'm using a Neumann 103 and a RODE NT1 and an RME Fireface UCX interface. I'm looking for a warm, punchy, almost vintage vocal sound. This is my short-list (between €900 and €1,100) - any advice would be appreciated.

Need opinions/input on possibly upgrading mic/audio interface for home studio..

Hey all. Im pretty new to the forum, but am amazed at everyones knowledge and am learning a lot in short time. My question is about a mic and audio interface. Tax time is coming around and I'm just not sure that what I use to record is up to par, or if it will be worth it to buy new gear.
