Evert, you asked,

>So my big question is; how good is the AD20 compared to the MP2.

I am a dealer for both units and have demo units. I like the MP2 a
lot; the AD-20 is so stripped-down it has nothing adjustable except
the two channel gains, and those are on two little tweaker pots. You
understand that the AD-20 has no phantom power and no analog output;
only S/PDIF or optical digital output. Quality-wise I think they both
have good preamps; the MP-2 has input transformers, so I'd expect a
couple of dB better S/N; they spec at 1 dB different, but it's tricky
to measure.

Hope that helps.
