Happy but salty
Very happy with the interface. Clear sound, easy to use. The Console interface is very well written and also easy to operate and understand. On the other side, reading the marketing material led me to believe that some of the preamp plugins were included (Neve, for instance) and then I found out it's "enabled" but not included. Good trick choice of words, marketing people. My fault for not being more analytical. I don't regret the purchase, but I'm feeling I've been bamboozled, duped, smeckeledorfed (I hope someone gets the joke).

Probably Amazing
The Apollo X6 only works for certain windows 10 computers. I went through two of these until the sales reps and I realized it was just never going to work with my computer. I bought a brand new computer with great specs just for this unit. Even a support person at UA admitted they’ve had some problems with certain computers. I love UA products and I’m still a huge fan. But until they make drivers that work on more than just two or three computer brands/models, I won’t be buying anymore interfaces.

Simply amazing
a card simply amazing, innovative and technologically a step forward towards the possibility of the best sound and creativity. Also the workflow is improved thanks to the virtual channels that allow to reprocess sounds and to create multiple chains. before buying apollo x6 I had an RME FF UFX II system and I must say that the sound of Universal Audio converters is much better, more balanced and refined, and the possibility of using plug-ins makes the whole system unbeatable in every aspect . Even the headphone outputs are unbeatable and allow you to drive perfectly even headphones like the sennheiser hd600 with impedances of 300ohm and beyond. In brief, I am very satisfied with my new purchase. simply amazing

Great Product the Apollo x6
This is a great product like all Universal Audio Plugins/gear! But heed warning if your studio rack is behind you, be prepared to shell out $300+ For an Optical Thunderbolt cable, prices vary by feet!

Quality workflow
This is my first uad product and I went ahead and went with the Apollo x6 . I really love the workflow when I’m using the Apollo to track instruments , and be able to take the load off my cpu . Definitely worth the money plus the uad plugs in are top notch and making tracking a breeze . The quality I get out of this unit is amazing!

Great!!
This Audio Interface is very cool
great sound and DSP also good.
And design is very nice

exceeds all expectations
Using unison preamps and sim simulations in Apollo x6 makes the project work very easy. The whole thing with no latency. The sound of the SVT 3 Pro, for example, is outstanding. A mute function of the cues in Console and Apollo would be desirable. And the volume controls of the cues are too close for my taste

The Future is here!!!
We have to admit that we go forward, into the future, where all the things they have to be simple and practical and Universal Audio they know very well how to do it!!!
Apollo, an amazing line, simple and intuitive, warm and very good in micro-details.

Adictivo!!
Primero Arrow, quedé impresionado de la robustez, calidez, y calidad superior, así que le he sumado X6, equipo increíblemente versátil, sonoridad brutal ... Plugins incluidos top level. El X6 para producción y en mi caso guitarra. 10!!

Apollo X6
Love it! Seems pretty solid overall. The conversion is really good and sounds amazing. I also love the headphone amps. Haven't tried unison yet. Every plugin I've bought impresses me very much.

The Apollo X6..
The Apollo X6 has the most complete AD/DA converter I have ever used in the audio interface. It's literally the best.

Winner
We just installed two Apollo x6 at Palma Music Studios on Mallorca. Since we have a lot of clients that work with UA hardware in their own studios, it´s great to be able to offer them to just connect the cable and be up and running with their own system settings in no time. And the AD/DA is a big step up from previous interfaces. /Thanks!
J. Sivusalo
I like it!
Not a bad decision to jump on UAD wagons. Only the midi I / O is missing from the complete package.

Everything I love about this interface and the few things I don't;
When I plugged my new Apollo X6 into my 2013 MacBook Pro, my expectations
where somewhat muted.
Thinking that computers age much the same as dog years, I was expecting
(potentially) stability issues, error messages, etc.
I was happily proven wrong, as the Apollo has been rock solid (on fairly large projects.)
I replicated then same project and opened it up on an even older Mac mini with thunderbolt 1.
"Here we go" I thought.
Now the shit's really going to hit the fan.
Nope..everything ran perfectly.
Then one final test;
I plugged the Apollo into a Lacie thunderbolt hard drive, then the Mac mini.
Again expecting something to go wrong, the only message I got was to increase
the input delay compensation.
After doing so, everything again ran perfectly.
So why aren't I immediately mentioning the converters, then
pre's, unison, etc etc?
None of that matters without a stable platform for this to run.
Happily UA supplies exactly that.
Oh..the pre's, and converters are fantastic. ;)
My few negatives?
1. No thunderbolt cable/with adaptor.
IN 2019 with an interface of this quality not supplying the cables
and needed adaptors is inexcusable.
I'm not concerned about the additional cost, but its like buying a Porsche without
getting the keys.
Also please ..no talk about choosing your own cable or something..
that's utter nonsense.
2. The plugins are MASSIVELY overpriced.
Sorry, but after performing a few null tests between the DSP powered
ones and the native ones, (when, to be fair their are equivalents)
there's no difference.
I understand that coding for specific hardware is potentially more time
consuming, but some of the price points are really outlandish.
I purchased this interface primarily for the A/D D/A's and improved clocking
Happily The X6 doesn't disappoint.
