Re the meters: Yeah i noticed that too. Julio from apogee told me that the reason the price is low (well lower than the other apogee stuff) is because the saved some costs on ex. the meters, the chassis and other stuff not related to the soundquality + the fact that the developed the thing togehter with appla (saving developmentcosts + they expect to sell a lot of this unit, well the backorder is huge so..)
The mic pres is a step up from minime and the ADDA is a step up from Trak2 but a small step down from rosetta.
So what interface do you use now, just have a comparison (i could be something a know!)

I've had a great personal relationship with the company and would rather not reveal who they are, but suffice it to say, I think they are second only to Apogee. :-)

Honestly, the definition and clarity is noticeably better than any product under $5k. I've owned a number of i/o's and dacs and the Ensemble sounds better without even A/Bing it against other products. Its that much better. Wait until you hear the bass, its so stable and clear. The stereo sound stage is so deep and wide..

anyhow, I'll stop gushing.. more news when I get mine and can really run it through some tests..
