Ive owned the Apogee Ensemble for one year now (coming from Rosetta 800), and was very happy until LEOPARD came out. For the past 6 months, this box is so temperamental, never holds sync with the firewire and ALWAYS dropping out of the FW bus. Apogee and Apple are all over these issues, for months now. And it has to do with having lots of RAM and using the firewire sound card. There is nothing to do but wait unitl late June for 10.5.3 update and then possible Apogee's new firmware/software to fix all this

My question is:... moving away from the Ensemble. Getting a FF800 RME. Ive never owned one. People seem to like it but Ive always stuck with Apogee in my studio

Can anyone chime in that has owned both the FF800 and either Ensemble or Rosetta, on what the biggest differences are. With sound quality and I.O

Thank you for the help. Im so sick of the ensemble, it has to go soon
