Re: Need to find FireWire to thunderbolt 4 adapter for HD896 units

When I upgraded my old Mac Pro to the max studio M2 Max, not only were my Motu units rendered obsolete, but als...

Re: Need advice on replacing Mac desktop

Thanks for the advice my friends
This is what I got

APPLE MAC STUDIO M2 MAX 1TB SSD 64GB RAM 12-CORE 30-CORE GPU

$2,529.89

There was not enough difference between the M1 Ultra and M2 Max to justify the cost difference.

I think the M2 Ultra was nice but thought the Max would be enough for me.
