    I'd be wary of any Firewire Interface. I spent 6 months trying to get my old Steinberg mr816 x firewire interface to work, after I upgraded to Windows 8. Eventually I gave up. Steinberg has reissued the interface as a USB interface, which says a lot.

    Microsoft changed the legacy driver for firewire with Windows 8 and a lot of audio interfaces had trouble with it. Maybe Windows 10 will be ok, but Universal Audio only lists Windows 7 compatibility for the Apollo.

    How many input / outputs do you need on your interface?
