What Makes an Interface Stand Out from the Crowd

Are the internal electrical parts of a digital audio
interface such as an Mbox 2 or a MOTU Ultralite fairly
similar.
In some ways.
I am hearing that converters are about the same.
Pick from a short list of AKM and Cirrus part numbers.
Like average home DA converters on CD/DVD players.
Boards are about the same.
Analog buffers tend to vary more.
USB, FW or PCI interface and DSP chips tend to vary more.
Even mic preamps are reasonably similar.
I would expect to see considerably variation, there.
That the key differences are software, controls and connectors?
That, too.
Invaluable: stable drivers.
