Love this interface. Have owned the Audiobox, and Audiobox96 this is a substantial upgrade. Took a minute to figure out how to disable the dry signal when in the DAW using playback monitoring. Figured out its in a virtual mixer. After that it works like a charm. Gets a little warm but not a deal breaker. Preamps sound EPIC too btw.
