138db dynamic range on the DAC, 124db on the ADC. 384khz sample rates (192k on the digital i/o). $3,000 USD current street price. USB connectivity.
I haven't seen any reviews on this thing yet, but if the drivers are stable, this thing smokes (based on specs). It matches RME's ADI-2 pro adc spec (which is the highest I'm aware of) and surpasses UA's flagship model apollo, on the DAC side of things by 5db.
The Amare seems to be a front runner AD/DA right now, with the highest specs of any adda out there right now, except in the sample rate where RME goes to 764k.
I like that they didn't try and cram dsp into the unit. Check it out.
Antelope (previously aardvark) have a great reputation. I loved
Antelope (previously aardvark) have a great reputation. I loved my Orion 32 and way back my q10. I’m also tied to all my plugins from UAD now :). And I prefer pcie / thunderbolt over usb.
