    If you change your mind here's another vote for the Nero. It specifically calls out no difference in L/R signals as you adjust the volume and this is a big deal for me. It's very much a transparent device.

    OWC Accelsior vs Sonnet 8m2 PCIe cards

    You mentioned the Apple Card can be removed? Seems like dropping the HDMI ports and USB would be a good trade off if you want all that storage. Would removing the card impact using TB4 as videonout?

    Hi Charlie I have the M1 Ultra studio with 8tb internal and 128gb ram plus the Sonnet rack with the 3 slot pci and the Mcfiver card with a 4tb and 2tb drive. You don’t get the insane speeds for sequential as you do in the pro, but I do get very exceptional results as reported in this thread...

    Should studio monitors & subwoofer be from the same manufacturer?

    I am limited by space under the desk. I have Neumans for the tops KH120 which sound much bigger then they are, but for a sub I have an old Blue Sky that just fits and I only need it for the extreme low end that the 120's don't handle so I have the crossover on the sub set to it's lowest.
