Based on some comments from UA on their forum, I think the more powerful power supply is really something for X that might be doing more than people usually think it would.

I A\B the MOTU 16A Vs the Apollo 16 BF to track Drums.I found the low end was more present in the 16A in a nice way.As i don't use the UA plugins.i won't put them in the equation. Didn't try the new Apollo X but personally i'm not sure there is a huge difference sound wise.Could be more power with the Shark with the X.But i could be wrong.!!!! You’re wrong. Big difference. Don’t know why people are thinking there’s not much change. It’s an entirely new clock and new ADDA. There might be a reason why some peoples think there isn't not much change .They might be right as you are. !!!!!

But you said you haven’t tried the new X series, so how are you using your ears to make a judgement? I got my X hooked up a few days ago. I’m coming from the mkii blackface which I’m planning on keeping and cascading the two units. I can tell you for sure that the DA on the X is MUCH better than the mkii. I sat there for hours listening to some old favorites and the detail was stunning. Recorded some stuff and the AD sounds excellent too. The converter upgrade is the reason UA came out with the X and it’s a significant improvement.

This is what sucks about message boards - and especially the big purple gorilla. Misinformation. Ive owned the SF, BF and had the Symphony mkII and a Motu 16A sitting right next to the x6. The difference in the BF and the X is not a subjective thing. It’s objective. Is it right for you? THATS what a message board can’t answer...but to say there’s hardly any difference is incorrect. I’m sorry if that sits the wrong way.
