Failed two months after warranty expired..
UAD is not helping me because I'm over warranty so I'm stocked with 3369USD worth of plugins but no hardware to run them from.

Wish I would have done it sooner
Purchased to try out the UA ecosystem for myself and was blown away instantly.
The quality of the plugins in undeniable and the added horsepower made running sessions a lot more comfortable.
I have already added 2 more UAD-2 cards so I am now at 3 plus some added plugins.
A happy customer indeed.

A dream becomes real
The card works flawlessly on my PC Windows based system, it's a dream finally never being short of DSP anymore. I had some issues registering the hardware which led me to loose all the free plugins that came with the promotion bundled with this product. However, UAD customer support solved the problem right away, and now I'm enjoying the hardware even more!

Well that was a hassle
So the gear works as advertised but please note that this will NOT boost processing power for audio being recorded in realtime. Anything coming in on your Apollo will only be able to use what every juice you've got on that machine and will not be able to harness resources from a satellite/PCIe. I wish this was something that was a little more clear from the advertisements but not understanding this caveat was my fault so I shouldn't knock UAD for this I suppose. And as not having this isn't really a game changer for me at this point I suppose I'm mostly happy with the unit.
The HASSLE was dealing with UAD support trying to figure out what the promotion package would include as I already owned Ultimate 8. It probably took about 7-8 emails to get everything somewhat worked out. My case run up the chain to the supervisor, I guess for being one of the noisy ones? I don't know. Even then it was often unclear or unanswered. I would leave a list of about 4-5 very concisely worded questions but in their reply they would only answer 1 or 2 of the questions and not all that clearly at that.
Even as I am writing this for example, there is one unanswered question from UAD still sitting in my mailbox:
"I am planning on purchasing a Townsend Labs Sphere l22. According to the Townsend website I will receive a download voucher for the UAD Sphere l22 plugin upon purchase of the microphone. Could you please confirm that this is indeed the case?"
Is that an annoying/difficult question? Does UAD realize the reason why I would like this question answered when I have a vouchers for 4 free plugins (what I eventually received as in exchange for the promotion plugins). Boys wake up!

OCTO & QUAD
With an Octo & Quad core PCIe card, I get a powerful system to use UAD plug-ins, with sounds very great !!!
c. hölscher
Plug and play, how it should be.
Build into the computer with the card I already owned.
Starting the computer, it worked imediately.
That is how it should be. Great!
