So far it's pretty good. I miss the early 70's curve on the output, I loved that when I just used my machine for casually listening, and I was pretty bummed that I missed the sale by 3 days. I put in a ticket like the sale ad said, but never heard back.

The new SoundID Reference doesen't work well on my System. Systemwide doesn't work at all in any mode or work for some pretty short time with audio dropouts and resets it self then. And if the software is running it causes audio dropouts and cracking sounds. The old Reference rund much better on my system. It caused sometime also some audio dropouts, but it was not so often.

This is by far the best room correction and headphone correction system there is, it's just very user friendly and does the job extremely well.

System wide does not work half of the time... Need to manual switch (sys prefs) from UAD to reference a few times before it "sticks" If I start studio one it stops working completely, have to use the plugin version inside Studio One

So far, it's been a disaster. 8 days ago I bought the upgrade, went to install it, and it errored and failed. I uninstalled Reference 4 thinking that might help, no dice. Reached out to support, waited a couple days, and got a response asking for logs. I sent the logs. Waited a couple more days and got a response that they'd received the logs. Waited 4 more days and received an email asking for different log files. And so, we wait...
