Work in progress
The sound on the interface was excellent. Very limited i/o for such an expensive device though and unfortunately the software felt half baked on my Mac. Randomly used tons of memory in activity monitor and caused multiple crashes. Tech support was understanding and tried to help but basically just said uninstall everything and reinstall. Also sometimes the changes on the touch screen didn’t match what showed on the computer. The software just didn’t seem to be ready for prime time so I had to return and go back to my Apollo Twin X which sounds almost as good to my ears and way more solid on Mac.

Expensive but sounds incredible
I debated about getting this for a long time but I think it is worth the price. The audio conversion is definitely a notable step-up compared to even the other apogee interfaces I have. If you’re an in-the-box producer this is very easy to recommend. However, if you plan on getting a mixing desk or other analogue equipment then I’d wait and save to get the Symphony mk2.

The interface didn’t turn on.
The product didn’t turn on, after making sure I connected the power cable properly, and after I checked the power cable worked with other similar products. I will return this one, and change my rating once I get a replacement that does work.
