Audio In options (iRig/etc... vs Apogee Jam/etc...)

Just wondering if you guys have advice on whether the $100+ audio in options such as Apogee Jam, Line6 Mobile In, Alesis iO or others that plug into the USB connector are worth spending extra money on.

I am trying to compare those with the adapters that plug into the audio jack, such as iRig or GriffinConnector which are less than half the price.

    If you care about audio quality, then the answer is definitely yes- it will be noticeably better plugging in through the dock connector.

    If you're on an ipad, there may be better solutions depending on what you want to record. You can plug a majority of USB audio interfaces in via the camera connection kit which could give you more options (microphone inputs, MIDI etc).

    As I have stated elsewhere, using my mic sm-58 of shure with irig and my phone, I get low output. Somebody sugggested to add a pre-amp if using a rig like mine. I have not tried yet. I'll come back on that one.

    Ok cool, so sounds like for audio quality it's worth it.

    Any advice on which one to use? Apogee Jam looks pretty good, anyone have experience with it?
