Good build quality but it has a lot of flaws
TLDR: It's a good audio interface, but my SSL2, which costs five times less, sounds about the same! I didn't feel any quality difference.
Pros:
- DSP;
- Excellent build quality;
- Free DAW included (LUNA);
- UA plugins;
- Unison preamps (ability to switch input impedance, etc.);
Cons:
- Limited Windows compatibility;
- For the price, Universal Audio should have given us better mic preamps;
- If you need DSP processing, you can use Rogue Ameba Loopback and your favorite VST/AU plugins; No need to pay ~ 1000 euros for the DSP;
- The console app doesn't allow to add more than four plugins to the insert; there is a workaround, but come on: this sound card costs 1000 euros; I don't want to deal with such issues in this price range;
- Why does it have to install a new macOS kernel extension? I don't get it;
Maybe it's just me, but a simple quality USB interface like SSL 2 suits my needs better. Sometimes less is more.
