Up for sale is a flagship Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface. This is the latest second-generation model featuring the updated silver faceplate, significantly overhauled internal D/A conversion, and advanced DSP capabilities.

The unit has spent its entire life inside a professional, climate-controlled, smoke-free rack environment. It looks and performs exactly as it did out of the box—flawless cosmetic shape, zero rack rash, and perfect functional performance.
