Yes, I agree. The Avid box is very good, and I hear it as cleaner, less "weighted" than the 192. It seems to have lower noise than other DIGI products I have used in the past. Certainly more input/output headroom too. It DEFINITELY has LOWER latency, as the way it "feels" through it the system is "tighter", than others.

The Apogee sounds incredible to me. It has an extra push of sonic "flavor" that I "favor", [plus its versatile and can be used with other systems besides Pro Tools] but I think the Avid HD I/O, and the OMNI are pushing beyond the old crop of DIGI boxes by a measure, if not only for being lower noise, and offering less latency. There has been a sonic improvement to my ear, with both of these aforementioned I/O's....
