| This is most definately known and identified problem (see the Support / Discussions area of Apple's own site). In fact this has caused me to put the brakes on a new purchase. My solution might in the end be to go with a MacBook Pro and via the express34 slot "install" the chipset of my choosing. However this option of course does not exist on the iMac platform.
A non-pro consumer machine - ok I get it. But c'mon when Apple attaches "Pro" to the label - that is what customers expect. BTW - much of the whining on the apple site is not related to audio interfaces but the lack of compatibility with FW drives. It is causing an uproar. Folks looking to buy refurb or back-rev machines just to get around this ?. That is NOT a recipe for increasing sales of their new high end machines, I would think. |
