The Excellent SOUND

JohnyGoode 07.04.2025

This piece of hardware made by real sound engineers with engineer mindset. No bullshit marketing, no "wow marketing features" (here definitely has wow features for wow impact sound) just static sound power proven by time! It can be an audio interface or a summing mixer or one of the best ad/da converter or ... yes, there many wonderful use cases here. Pick what you want!

I united my apollo twin x gen 1 with LIO-8 mk4, DSP plugin from apollo — works, MIO — works, all works
