In the Market for a New Audio interface, bought Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and returning

I'm looking for a new audio interface that is under $300. I record music on my guitar and sing songs with a mic, I recently bought some JBL LSR 305s and am looking for a good audio interface to complement them. THe Scarlett 2i2 just didn't have enough power for my guitar and would clip and really low volumes. Comparing it to my roommates old Native Instruments Audio Kontrol 1 and the sound was much cleaner going through his box and wouldn't clip at low volumes. I've been researching the New version Complete Audio 6 but there has been lots of problems that I've read with audio popping and crackling especially with windows. The roland quad capture looked intriguing but I don't know how clean the sound is compared to the Audio Kontrol 1 or Komplete Audio 6.



Looking for an interface that will work well with windows, not clip with my electric guitar and, sounds super duper clean.



What should I get?
