I hope I have anyway. Me too. I've had it with this. I have an Ultra that I love, but I don't like the built in obsolescence. Is there still a waiting list? Hopefully I was added yesterday.
If you don't like technology progression, maybe you should only buy things built with technology that's mature (you know, like hand-wired tube amps).
ANYTHING made with digital electronics is gonna be faster/better and/or cheaper tomorrow. But I don't see how that is 'built-in obsolescence'; does your Ultra no longer do the things it did when you first got it? Is it unusable, now that something better has come along?
In the three months between selling my Ultra and getting my II, I used a Yamaha DG Stomp. Those are what, 12 years old or more? And yet they still sound great.
Hm. I'm not sure what you're talking about. The Ultra has no future. It's a closed system at the moment. There's room for the II to grow. Metric Halo is labeled as "future proof." These guys are dedicated to updating their HARDWARE when needed. At least they have up to now! This future proof model has spoiled me. I now kind of expect every other digital and hardware company to be as dedicated. But that's unfair, I know.If you don't like technology progression, maybe you should only buy things built with technology that's mature (you know, like hand-wired tube amps).

That's right! I consider Metric Halo the Fractal of the audio interface world and the ULN-8 the Axe Fx II.Henry goes way back with Metric-Halo. MOTU also if I remember.
