Thank you for all the hard work UAD. Couple things I am not too fond of with the Apollo that even my Scarlett did well. If you choose the wrong input on a channel, you might seriously burst an eardrum no joke. Why is there no limiter of some sort to prevent this from happening?
Also the "playback cap," if you will, aka the loudness of immediate playback, is too loud. Lastly, underruns from overloading are louder and more obnoxious-sounding than they should be. None of these issues were a problem on the Scarlett. This is in contrast to a linear rate of adjustment which keeps level adjustment at a consistent rate. Hasn't helped my CPU.
I'm on an i7 processor and 16gb of RAM and was hoping this Apollo would help at least some with overruns and glitches, but it almost seems to have gotten a little worse. Not a whole lot but it definitely hasn't helped any.

Contacting support about a fault will get you nowhere and solve nothing Considering the times when there is almost no post-warranty service with such miniaturized electronics, for this price, the quality of electronic components in this device is a scandal.
In addition, too expensive third-party plugs, such as Softube or Brainworx, which can be purchased cheaper from manufacturers. Complete disappointment. Believe me - 4 years and the equipment goes to the garbage. Easy to setup. Rebooted PC once to Update Firmware after hard reset on device - no problem. Console easy to use.
