Apogee Symphony
pros
• Achieves very low latency while maintaining
native compatibility with Core Audio.
• Apogee's converters are among the best
available.
• The VBus channel routing adds a feature that's
sorely missing in many native audio
workstations.
• Symphony Mobile provides all the functionality
of a single Symphony PCI card.
cons
• If you want to take advantage of the Symphony
system's feature set, but require more digital I/O
instead of high-quality analogue converters,
having to buy Apogee's converters can work out
expensive.
• Fully understanding how all the parts of the
Symphony system work together can take a bit
of time.
summary
Apogee's Symphony is an impressive system that
truly brings professional-quality audio converters,
combined with good performance and low
latency, to Core Audio-based applications on both
desktop and mobile platforms.
