Native Instruments would also be a good choice, with solid drivers, real MIDI sockets (which lacks in all the others except the MOTU, if I'm not mistaken), and is a bargain, nowadays. Steinberg also is a great deal.
I've used a Native Instruments AK1 for the last 15 years or so. It's a great little interface. Built like a tank with great sound quality & rock solid drivers. You might like the Komplete Audiol 6 which is similar (2 line/mic in, 4 audio outs, 2 headphone outs and 5-pin MIDI in/out).

But you had issues, I didn't had much issues with my Saffire either on macOS, sometimes it doesn't connect, sometimes it screws up bit rate, sometimes there's no drivers for it when new version is out and all that, overall not bad, but not solid either and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that want to buy peace of mind, you get plenty for your buck, it's not plenty of bucks either, but it's not entirely solid either, it can be, if you are lucky, but still, if you want to pay for sure thing, it's not the deal to take and if you have high impedance cans, it's definitely not something to consider.

Another one of those threads where the OP never got back to his own question...

Yeah, seems like trend on KVR, if only we could stop responding to those threads...

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Well, in that case, I recommend that the OP just use his computer's mini headphone output and call it good.

I have my eye on IK Multimedia's iRig I/O series keyboards because they have audio interfaces built in (all-in-one for keyboard players).
The included software isn't eligible for the group buy unfortunately.
