Hi Reuben! Thank you very much for your very helpful information... It looks right now as if I will continue the Ultra-Low-End for a while until Apogee has better support. > The Ensemble is a rack unit as well. Yes, I don't mind carrying around one rack-mountable device. I just want to avoid a complete heavy-duty rack with several devices if possible so I can use public transport to get to smaller gigs (quite possible in Switzerland without a lot of luggage). > than through the software they provide then you would be in trouble > because that software is not designed to run on Linux.

Which would mean the Rosetta with seperate pre-amps looks like the best option... Too bad. Maybe I'll have to compromise on audio quality (maybe the Motu UltraLite or something from RME) in order to get the portability. Thanks Again, Reuben! Carlo
