    Worth every penny
    Very happy with this unit. Word clock is crystal clear and my synths have a breath of fresh air and sound great through this. Hi-Z input for guitar on the front works well for simplicity and easy access. Overall my low end resolution has experienced a serious upgrade and is clear and present, as well as the rest of the frequency spectrum. Read more

    UAD Home Run
    Coming from an older silver face Apollo, I can?t say enough good things about the X8. 6 DSP cores and new conversion and clocking take this into beast mode. Great help and support from Louis at Economik again!!!
