IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO FIND A WIRE FOR THE APOLLO: If you want to connect this thing to your computer, make sure your motherboard has USB 3 superspeed output in either C or A ports. YOU NEED a USB 3.2. A USB 3.1 won't work. I was losing my mind never finding a cable that would work for days, and eventually figured out it HAS to be a 3.2 to be superspeed, which this DAC requires. This is not specified anywhere from UAD which sucks, since it doesn't follow with the DAC. I took me days to get this set up.
Really should have included the USB cable with the product. Have had a very frustrating time trying to get this product to work, keep getting an error message about needing USB 3.0 despite having exactly that on my PC and cables.
