I just heard from someone in a "position to know" who wouldn't really say but hinted that Apple/Emagic is waaay behind on, but still working on, a Mac specific (G5 I think) audio interface. Anyone heard anything more concrete than this? We're evaluating options right now, and this could be a factor in the mix, so to speak... -Glenn @ Schadowrider

Yep. Right now, the just-announced RME FireFace 800 is looking like the best of the bunch, but only if it doesn't cost $3k and ships before Christmas. PreSonus' new FirePod was near the top of my list too, but it appears now that it won't actually ship for a long time (which is probably good, since I'd like to know that they've had plenty of driver experience, relying on Yamaha mLan for their FireStation [ad]venture). Apple will probably avoid announcing anything until it's ready, but man, it's hard to shop right now. So we wait.. G
