Discrete 4 Pro Synergy Core : Serious contender to Number 1 for home studio

What I knew about DSP powered interfaces? They are complex, hard to learn and in the end, are they very helpful with their DSP processing? Now I know the answer is yes. What I love Discrete 4 Pro SC for? 4 discrete preamps with 65 db gain provide more solid(honest) sound than opamp chips. Inputs types(Pre, Hi-Z, Line) switched by relay to minimize noise! 16 FX slots(AFX) can be loaded with up to 8 plugins each and their inputs assigned to any input or output. Everything after that can be summed on 4 mix buses and got on 24 channel slots in DAW with USB and 32 slots for Thunderbolt. Great! You and your singer/performer may listen dry or wet different mixes and different mixes or dry signals can be routed to DAW for recording! Buffer size can be lessed to 8 samples. Honestly I didn't find it useful at least with USB. USB reported latency for 44k/16 samples is 75/59 samples or 1.70/1.34 ms in/out. Measured RTL - 17 sampels more. And with 32 samples buffer size the RTL measured on USB increased only up to 3.5 ms. It's just a dream! And everything works flowlessly as I need it with HP Victus notebook (CPU AMD 5600h, 32 Gb RAM). 4 independent headphone amps can drive 300 Ohm of HD600 easily! 65 db gain and huge dynamic range may give you a good tone even on low signal microphones. I took also Ultimate FX pack on sale. And now I have about 70 astounishing FX processors to use in the recording. Microphone emulations may be not suiable for every taste. But if use Edge Note SDCs than the emulation of Neumann KM 184 SDC is a great choice. Do I trust to Anteloipe FX also mixing and mastering? Not yet, but need to check. I got interface only 1 week ago but already had 1 stage performance using mic pres before X32 console and one studio recording with 2 singers. Excellent results!

Update after 1 month. After buying this device, I urgently needed Discrete 8 because of the larger number of channels :-)
