Completely satisfied!
I have been using an RME Fireface 400 interface for the past 7 years. Because I love UAD plug-ins, and have been watching the Apollo ever since its release, I decided to purchase a Apollo Quad to work with my Windows system.
I use Pro Tools Native (non-HD), and as soon as I connected my Apollo and and played a mix through it the improved clarity and detail were obvious. Also, there is an obvious widening and depth of my stereo field.
Although I use outboard mic pres, I recorded my voice and acoustic guitar through the Apollo's mic pres and found them to be very transparent and definately usable.
I am currently working on a new project, and although it is not completed as of yet, I did a quick mix and loved what I heard. I am very happy!

Good interface
People should not think about music equipment when making music.
This should be a no brainer.
Just fix the stability of the unit and make the drivers rock solid.
And then you will have a perfect interface.

Perfect
It works perfect, so glad I got it, won't say what I had but it was nothing compared to the Apollo. Way better than I thought it could be. Once again thanks Universal Audio.

apollo
I have recently got the apollo Quad with thunderbolt optional card... sonically really nice clean detailed sound.
I have no complaints whatsoever only thing is expansion for thunderbolt was a bit
costly (imo ) but most thunderbolt enabled things are as there are not a lot of products with thunderbolt , so high cost is problably with licensing from intel and not the manufacturer. Otherwise I'm extremely happy with the products thus far......Highly recommended.

Best audio interface on the market
This is my first UA product and I'm really excited with the quality of the device, its sound and routing capabilities. Finally I have enough input/outputs to make analog summing, process some tracks with analog effects and use fantastic UAD plugins.

My studio wherever I go
This piece changed my game!
I'm an artist/producer who has to travel a lot, and every time I was out from my studio I used to work on every project like a draft for later, and once I was back home finish the ideas I had with my pro gear.
Now this changed thanks the Apollo Quad an the UAD system.

Apollo Quad. The Greatest!
I am thrilled to bits with this new interface from UAD. When I started up the Apollo Quad and opened one of my old Pro Tools 8 sessions, the sound from my Adams monitors blew me away. I had no idea how much I hadn't heard with my old interface. The processing speed with the UAD plugins is super fast. No problems whatsoever. In fact, I just authorized the Studer plugin. What a great plugin. It has that warm analog tape sound that takes away the harsh digital frequencies of instruments and vocals. For anyone wishing to upgrade their interface, they should go with the Apollo Quad. And to top if off the people working at UAD are first rate and the most helpful individuals of any vendor I've ever dealt with.

Apollo for life!!
It s a tremendous gear!!
I m really happy with how the plug ins works. They sounds great.
I m using a 500 series for processing audio with api 560 eqs an a couple of comps custom made and the ad/da converters of the apollo sounds terrific. Also since i have the Apollo i m doing so much realtime process. My mixes are going better every day.
Thank you guys for a well thought peace of gear.
Congrats!!

Apollo and UAD plugs
WOW ... I had heard rave reviews from friends who use UAD plugs and thought that they were for sure over exaggerating the fact that UAD plugins sound better than all others. I've never considered plugins to be anything near what hardware sounds like until I was at a small studio doing a session and heard the plugs. It took 1.1ms (get it) for my head to turn when the engineer pulled up the LA2A compressor. Huh ??? What ??? are you kidding me ??? The very next day I went and got an Apollo and started pulling up plugins on various sessions I had going on in my studio. Little to say after a week of slowly replacing all my old plugins with the UAD plugs the difference is so drastic that I still can't believe my ears. UAD is the bomb !!!!!!!

Game Changer
This really is an amazing piece of gear, in terms of the sound and conversion. It has brought my signal chain up to standard with the rest of the industry, with the clearest and most powerful conversion for the money on the market. I would give it 5 starts, but the software is a little buggy and although I'm running PC instead of Mac, it's 2013! We should have this kind of software figured out by now for the OS that represents the majority of the market!
Nevertheless, I'd buy it again even knowing about the slight bugginess. Here's to hoping they figure that out in the near future...

A brilliant interface
UA have really hit the spot with this unit. Brilliant mic pre's, great routing choices for monitoring and/or recording, Console software is so easy to use and does all you want it to in a really straightforward manner, and the sound is, of course, amazing. Absolutely brilliant.

LONGTIME UAD user.
I just want to say that the SERVICE I've received has been OUTSTANDING! The quality of these plug-ins are just STELLAR!!! I am loving the Apollo DUO and it has more than enough power to handle even my biggest recording projects. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND UNIVERSAL AUDIO for such a great product!
Just buy it. You won't regret it!
A+++!
