Finally got to try out Nuage. OMG!!!

One comment on the DSP though. There is no DSP in Nuage, and the Hardware neither offers “real” DSP.
The No-Latency monitoring is the same Direct Monitoring you’ll find in most of the ASIO gear.

And I don’t know ,if it’s clear to you that you can use any Hardware you like.
We were on MADI, and we haven’t switched. We left everthing as it was.
That allows us to hook up any kind of Front End hardware we like.
Unless you need the hardware (which is of great quality), there is no real need to purchase them.
