Tom Waterman explains: “Listening to feedback from Audient users has been essential. As a result, we worked closely with David Dearden to develop the PSU cooling system for absolutely silent, fan-less operation, and invested in new, improved Burr-Brown converter technology to ensure even better sound quality and each channel has insert points for enhanced flexibility or direct converter access.” Apart from improved sound quality, the front panel of the ASP880 has also benefited from a redesign.
