This works?
It definitely doesn't work as an IOS interface, unless UAD recently released the control software (which is essential for controlling the DSP chips within the interface) for IOS.
Never heard any rumors about this, though.
But of course you can use the UAD system with an iPad/iPhone connected to the analog input/output of an Apollo running on PC/Mac.
'Less worries about the plugins...' suggests that you may look at an RME interface, which has the exact same preamp channels as the Apollo, which works flawless in IOS with RME's Total Mix control software.
UAD is all about the plugins and their realtime use without DAW buffer.
That's what sets it apart from Asio, RTAS or Audio Unit processing... and comes with a significant price tag. Either like it or leave it.
(imh experience (Pro Tools TDM, Creamware Scope) hardware DSP is a huge benefit)
^this is super helpful, thanks!
I think the UAD solo with USB C cable should work.
Of course you can't access the plugins in IOS
But it should work in a D.A.w. or Audioshare
I have the Arrow, which needs Thunderbolt 3 and isn't class compliant. The Mac version of the Solo is basically a rebadged Arrow as far as I understand, so I highly doubt it will work with iOS.
The new solo has USB-C .......it very possibly could work

I’m 100% sure it won’t work. A different port in this case means nothing.
The SSL 2+ is not supposed to work with iPad but it does...
Someone has to buy it and test it......the USB-C version of course the plugins won't work.
ops
The Apollo solo usb is windows only.

True and duly noted
The plain interface sound of Arrow and Apollo is identical to RME interfaces, so both versions of the Babyface apply. They all use Texas Instruments PGA2500 integrated preamp chips as the only analog input parts.
The good news is if Apple ever went portless, as speculated, feared, and with pitchforks ready in another thread, then the ua interfaces will work just as well as any other interface. 😉
How exactly?
lol 😂 good one
Really? Very interesting 🤔 Does anything else (calibration, power, etc) affect the plain interface sound?
The PGA2500 is an expensive part, so you can expect any manufacturer who’s using it to care for appropriate power supply and AD/DA conversion.
There may exist (very) subtle differences in the sound under cans, but I cannot remember one single review ever that mentioned particular attributes of interface output stages.
You expect them to be neutral and supply enough loudness for monitoring - and that‘s what you get.
The PGA2500 on the other hand is an item worth thinking about before purchase.
It‘s well known for an extremely precise sound, it lacks any character (unless „sterile“ is considered as such).
That‘s one reason for it‘s appreciation in modeling software that adds the acoustic character of gear to signal, like UAD does.
The other reason is that it‘s analog performance can be controlled digitally. (gain, impedance)
