I tested the 8×8 Thunderbolt version of the Symphony I/O mkii, and if you’re in the market for this price range of interface you really can’t do much better. At just over $3,000 this is not a budget piece by any means, but a professional tool made by a group of folks truly passionate about audio recording. The highlights for me were the highly usable touchscreen (I’m not a fan of Maestro, the included control software), unbelievably low latency (monitor through your DAW with ease), and the pristine headphone mix I was able to get. If this is Apogee’s new flagship, then they are very well represented.
