Our take on the Y.D.F AR001 USB Audio Interface
The Y.D.F AR001 is a 2x2 USB audio interface with 24-bit 96kHz recording, a mid-priced entry for a mic and an instrument. Its tracked price has stayed at $89.99 from July 4 to October 1, 2026, so there is no sale pattern to wait for.
The listing says it works with Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Cubase, and also lists 48kHz resolution. The detail that matters is software: no recording program is included, so you must download one yourself. Rated 4.0 across 289 retailer ratings, the lowest score among the interfaces here.
