I was hearing the same music and mixes with a clarity, transparency, and precision of a higher order of magnitude than what UA is capable of offering. My HS80m monitors and RME's headphone amp. UA noisy as fuck), but the outputs in particular. I couldn't believe how much better my UCX II sounded when I got it - not just the mic inputs (crystal clear, even at higher gain - try going directly into the box sans external pre-amp with a RE-20 or a SM7.
I think people just see the price tag and are turned off, but I am a very happy customer. I just can't do that with my native CPU at all. Mixing through it sounds like hardware my ears are happy. The amount of plugins I can record with, on the apollo, at extremely low latency alone is enough for me. It really just expands their market to people who don't want to invest in their interfaces. I honestly don't see how this update is relevant at all to the quality of their hardware. The A/D conversion is top notch, way better than my older interfaces. I love the low latency Luna DAW, I love all of their plugins, I got rid of my 2 other plugin subscriptions because I don't need them anymore. But so far, there is nothing better in that price range imo, especially for recording 16 tracks like I'm doing. When it becomes obsolete (and there's no sign in that happening very soon, I've had mine since 2017), I'll buy something better.
I love my apollo x8p, I don't think I'll ever go to any other system.
Of course this puts the clock on all the UA hardware's obsolescence
