What new for dsp has UA got cooking

I really wish they would all selling, or even just trading or trading IN of individual plugins.  I have things I'll never or rarely use because I traded an entire account.  

Also, does anyone know if Legacy versions can be 'upgraded' to current for less than selling price?

I just have a few legacy things, and they honestly sound really good. 

I wouldn't mind if UA just set up a plugin exchange system, peer to peer. 

whatever they got planned, I'm excited for it

As someone else said... best thing would be if they released something that made everyone flood the market with "obsolete" used x8's and x16's. Now that I could get behind.

I am a current DSP user so I think it would be a win because I could buy those very solid devices for prices that make more sense for how I use them.

I just can't justify $4k for 16 channels of conversion from the x16 when I can get twice the I/O for half the money from MOTU. But I actually really like using UAD's DSP. So it would be a win if you could buy great hardware with DSP support at a discount price because it's no longer "current".

Yes. I’ve compared them side by side.

I've personally never heard an A/D converter sub $6k that compared to the conversion I hear on my x8p. That's just my subjective experience though, I obviously haven't heard every interface out there.

Just curious, which Apollo did you have in the past?

Very interesting. Yes, 24 for that price is a great deal. I'd like to see an extensive breakdown of the differences, it does sound like you've found a situation that works for yourself. 

In my personal experience, great A/D conversion is absolutely paramount. I am a huge fan of the UAD environment, it makes my digital workflow so much better. So I am very satisfied with it. The A/D conversion, unison pre's, and recording with DSP/plugs is really what makes it way worth it for me. I have yet to find an interface that matched what I can do with my apollo. Efficiency, and making sure what goes in is exactly what comes out, and nothing is lost, is pretty much top priority. 

Plus I did keep my Satellite and I still have my x4 that I just can't seem to get motivated to sell properly. Maybe because I secretly want to be back in Apollo-land someday.

They won’t be obsolete as ua isn’t going to drop uad2 and current dsp as unison requires onboard apollo dsp.

Perhaps, they will use a new chip, but recoding everything woukd be a huge task.

Unless they do drop it. Here is the thing the supposition is something more powerful, that would be awesome except it probably means a new platform, you think they are going to support Native UAD2, and 3 ? Nope if a new platform comes out UAD2 is going the way of UAD1, except this time the vast majority of users probably have the DSP intergrated in their interface, so suddenly it’s hey you need a new interface, gee think people are pissed now?
Right now UA has so many pans over the fire something is going to have to give. It also would not surprise me if UA was the Peloton of pro audio; what I mean here is they were the company with the right product for the shut down, their numbers were great in this new world and they listened to their own press releases and thought they were frickin brilliant. Nobody said no we are riding a bubble it’s going to pop, we need to be ready for it to pop, instead they bought into the idea that they were I. Control not the market, and of course the bubble popped and they came crashing back to the real world. It’s like a friend’s restaurant, they do breakfast and lunch, survived and thrived post shutdown, not because they are brilliant but because they were strong. Most of the other places closed so their crazy growth is as much about attrition as anything, but what happens if they bite off a bunch of expansion and all the landlords decide they need to discount and get somebody in all these empty spaces? There goes this sudden huge market share.
