Thank you UA for making some of my actual thoughts about upgrading a lot easier:

1. I wont upgrade my PC right now, maybe the CPU but not the mainboard, I'll wait for TB Mainboards or look if it's even worthwhile going that path but I think Firewire wont be the Future.
2. I'll sell my Duo and keep my Quad while It's worth something cause I'm using more native than before. When a lot of people bought the Apollo because of it's good price right now compared to the card prices themselves you'll drop the prices for the cards or include plug In $'s at the end of the year or sometimes later because you know that the demand will be there for upgrading all the systems with Apollos out there. Then I'll look if the final Apollo can keep up the hype and especially if the drivers are good. If not it'll be RME or whatever interface + maybe another card from you if the price is right and I'm in the demand for more UAD power.
3. I wont upgrade my interface right now and keep on making music rather then bothering about technical stuff cause my FF800 runs rock solid and sounds good to my ears but your interface offers everything i'd like to have: 2 ms while tracking your plugs sound intriguing e.g. Roland chorus,Dim D, Space Echo, Moog Filter, Studer, 140....., no midi ( have a dedicated interface for that ), 2 headphone outs with volume knobs, 1 adat ( enough for me ), meters on the unit, output knob. But I have a workaround right now and I can live with that for some time

Great marketing with just some few information and creating a hype of a unit no customer has used in real live yet - specs sound awesome while they say nothing really( e.g. specs of a jupiter 80 are also insane compared to the old jupi, but the synth itself for electronic music, well...). Let's see how the final product and the drivers come out.

My wallet really thanks you a lot at the moment. I can wait.

If anyone is interested in a Duo you can write me a PM. I live in Germany.
