Hi Tomer. One of the main benefits of being a Mac user is that I don't have to worry about all the fuss concerned with drivers I used have when I was a PC user. (... not that I wish to start a Mac Vs PC debate.)

OS X uses Core Audio - so no drivers are required for hardware such as the Apogee Ensemble. Any Core Audio software applications which you would use on a Mac would be instantly compatible.

The Apogee Ensemble uses software called Maestro - which claims : -

"Maestro is an innovative application that offers advanced control capabilities in addition to those available in Logic Pro. These include multiple low latency mixers, an input and output routing matrix, and a universal control platform for using Ensemble in combination with other Apogee hardware.

? Control panel for Ensemble, Rosetta 800, Rosetta 200, AD-16X and DA-16X.
? 2 Low latency mixers per connected device
? Complete I/O routing matrix
? Mic preamp controls for Ensemble
? Output/headphone gain controls for Ensemble

Ensemble is the first and only multi-channel audio interface that is fully integrated into Logic Pro. With Ensemble, everything from mic pre and output gain to sample and bit rate selection are controllable from within Logic?s Apogee Control Panel. Ensemble, combined with Logic Pro, is the professional?s, easy-to-use, digital audio work station for the Mac..."

I would like to think that the fact Apple and Apogee have linked up on this would ensure as equally good support as RME.

Out of interest what A/D D/A do you use?
