das interface ist absolut makellos verarbeitet.. alle buchsen, schalter und potis fühlen sich sehr hochwertig an..
im vergleich zu meinem alten apollo (10 jahre alt) klingt das neue für meinen geschmack etwas hochauflösender, alles in allem, edler.. def mehr headroom..
ich bin ein fan von universal audio und bin absolut zufrieden, allerdings hätte für den preis ein thunderbolt kabel dabei sein müssen..
