Review: Amazing!!!!! - Does EXACTLY what its meant to do! I have a UAD Apollo Solo audio interface with an 8GB Mac mini M1. Before this addition to my setup, I was only able to run a small amount of UAD plugins in a session before exhausting my memory. I was extremely disappointed due to all of the money I'd shelled out between the audio interface, additional plugins, and thunderbolt 3 cable (that wasn't originally included); so giving up wasn't an option for me. I stumbled across this on their website and was very reluctant to purchase. But after a few days passed by, I decided to buy it. LIFE CHANGING!!!!! If you buy an Apollo Solo / Twin from Universal Audio, please do yourself a favor and add this to your cart as well. It will save you! Review: Excellent - Bam! Now I got power to run some UAD plugins. ## Features - Run UAD powered plug-ins via Thunderbolt 3 on modern Mac and Windows 10 systems (backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 devices) - 4 (QUAD) or 8 (OCTO) Shark processors provide a massive DSP boost for running large professional mixes.
