For a fraction of the cost of hardware, you get world-class networking power.

Modern multi-core CPUs (Intel i5/i7/i9 or Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3) are highly recommended to handle the packet processing without spiking.

Record up to 64 channels directly into Pro Tools, Logic, or Reaper without an expensive external interface.

For high-channel recording (64 channels), an SSD with fast write speeds is mandatory to keep up with the data stream. 2. Network Infrastructure Verification Your Dante network is only as strong as its weakest link.

Disable automatic updates and unnecessary background apps that might hog the CPU.

Cat5e or Cat6 cables are the standard. For verified long-distance runs, Cat6 shielded cables ensure interference doesn't ruin your clocking.

Move your "soundcard" from the studio to the live rig just by plugging in a LAN cable.
