This unit has by far the highest quality audio that I've experienced from a desktop interface.Its night and day when compared to other offerings. Absolutely amazing!I recently returned the Universal Audio Apollo X4 gen 2 due to Thunderbolt issued on Windows 11 (crackling, stuttering, even BSOD) & I was genuinely disappointed that I wouldn't be able to have the "latest and greatest" sound for by audio workstation...Well, this unit absolutely outshines the competition by MILES.The Apogee Symphony desktop is a worthwhile investment for those looking for similar functionality as the UAD dsp ecosystem, but with higher quality preamps, better drivers (Windows), more intuitive software, as well as dsp control straight from the touchscreen on the unit itself, no software necessary!Excellent work, Apogee!

Además de la funcionalidad nativa de esta nueva interfaz de Apogee, pude enlazarla con mi interfaz Ensemble 18 Firewire, logrando así una combinación muy potente de entradas y salidas con ambas tecnologías de Pre-Amps y con la calidad de Audio Apogee. Muy plug and play, eso también tiene un valor importante.

Poco hay que decir de este interface. De lo mas top que hay. Super estable y calidad suprema. Muy util la pantalla tactil.

Began home recording over 30 years ago on multitrack tape. Taught college classes in digital audio recording for past 20 years. Been using another pro-level brand desktop interface for the past 10 years, but was always bothered by a 'covered' midrange that needed processing to bring out life and sparkle. Decided to take a look at what else was out there - wow, lots of options now! I'm SO glad I decided on the Apogee Symphony Desktop.Yes it's pricey, but wow, what a difference. The included DSP preamps run from pristine and clean, to saturated and gritty. The Bob Clearmontain ECS (eq, compressor, saturation) Channel Strip makes it easy to quickly tune in settings for monitoring while recording - which can be printed, if you choose. The Dual Path set up which allows you to control everything directly from the DAW is a great convenience, but requires purchase of native versions of the DSP plugs. This extra expense (if you can't live without the Dual Path feature) is the only reason for the points taken off for Value for the Money. The only thing lacking is a reverb/delay DSP module for monitoring; you have to leave the Apogee control module and set that up in the DAW - a native Clearmountain Spaces reverb plugin is included. Puts a blip in the workflow and requires software monitoring in the DAW.I'm keeping my other interface connected for access to its plugins, but the Apogee Symphony is what I'll be using for recording from now on.
