Re: UAD Apollo min spec seems high given it's DSP anyway (quad core i7)?

If I want to pair it with a Focusrite Scarlett Octopre, what optical cable/format do I need?

May I suggest you also look at the Audient ASP 880? outstanding bit of gear though more expensive. .

Yes it looks fantastic but a week ago I said to myself, ok I think i'll get an Apollo Twin Duo for £715 and that's it. Stops spending money!
Here's what actually happened (so far)
Apollo Twin Quad £1069
Choose any 3 plug-in bundle registration offer £299
Used various other offers to get the Roland effects bundle £93
Thunderbolt cable £39
USB to HDMI adaptor £41
Logic Pro X £199 (I'd been on Pro 9)
Ouch! :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
But it's quality kit and it'll all get used so all good ... but OUCH
