This is the ultimate upgrade for any studio setup. THUNDERBOLT. Gone are the days of usb and firewire. Waited for usb 3 for the longest time and finally went for this option. Coming from UAD this product is pure quality and delivers majestic sound quality. There's almost no latency even when running heavy sessions. Works perfectly fine with all the softwares I tried it with..pro tools, ableton, cubase and logic..no issues or bugs. but be aware that they don't provide the thunderbolt cable which is a bit odd..but compensated by the "Real time Analog Classics" UAD plug-in bundle. Go for it if you are serious about your sound and want to make your tracks shine like pro's.
