June 24, 200917 yr comment_248129 for $250 it will probably beat the snot out of stuff in the $200-400 category but I'd still save my paper route money and get the duet. It would be cool for on the go macbook listening as it seems much more compact than the duet. Report
June 24, 200917 yr comment_248153 Netbook running leopard and the apogee ONE could be a great portable/college rig for under $700 all in Report
June 24, 200917 yr Author comment_248155 The built-in mic is nice. I wonder how good it is. There's a video on apogee's site of ozomatli doing a recording with one, check it out. Report
June 24, 200917 yr comment_248224 smart move by apogee. Much larger market at that price point, it seems. Report
June 24, 200917 yr comment_248259 I wonder if the internal DAC is as good as the DUET? well it is most likely different given that the duet is 24/96 capable but I am sure they did a great job with it. Report
June 24, 200917 yr Author comment_248261 well it is most likely different given that the duet is 24/96 capable but I am sure they did a great job with it. I don't think that necessarily follows, it could just be a USB driver choice. All current dacs can do 24/96, so it is probably just the USB reciever. Report

All current dacs can do 24/96, so it is probably just the USB reciever.Actually, I've seen a couple come out that don't -- surprisingly. (HRT MusicStreamer being the one example I can think of -- I think the other was on here [head-case] somewhere.) So the ONE can't? Fail. I'll pass. Too bad it's black. Report
June 24, 200917 yr Author comment_248315 I was just talking about the dac chips. I'd be shocked if apogee chose to use a dac chip that didn't support 24/96. I'm guessing (and that's all it is at this point, a guess), that the dac portion of the circuit is the same as the duet, it's just that the usb chipset is 16/48 instead of 24/96 to simplify implementation.

June 24, 200917 yr comment_248320 Oh, okay, yeah, pretty much all current DAC chips can do 24/96 (isn't that what you said?), I see what you're saying now. Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265737 Anyone get a chance to hear one of these yet? If so how do you like it? Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265874 Looks like a great little swiss army knife, and it would be a good price if I already had a Mac. A reference quality built-in mic is a neat idea. Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265889 I'll be patiently awaiting your impressions . It's good. /me traveled into the future to bring you grawk's detailed impressions. **BRENT** Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265898 So they also figured out how to get 24/96 over usb? Or am I misunderstanding the blurb on the apogee website? Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265909 Intro page appears to still say 24/48. Where are you getting 96? Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265920 Guitar Center wont have them till 9/4 even though the website says 8/21 Report
August 13, 200917 yr comment_265935 Intro page appears to still say 24/48. Where are you getting 96? Ah yes. 24/48 is what I meant. I thought under normal circumstances USB was limited to 16/48. Report
