This may sound strange since UAD is making amazing plugins, but I experienced nothing but problems with this DSP system. I’m also aware it may not be an issue for many people because my experience is based on working in Cubase only.
While I was trying to use UAD plugins in Cubase I would get some random connection errors which crashed plugins. Other times UAD plugins would crash and cause computer freeze, which required hard reset. But the most common issue was buffer size error which I would get almost every time when I insert a plugin on a track and what’s even worse during export.
I make music for games which require exporting multiple assest to be used in game engine. My routine is to use cycle markers to set multiple export regions. But because UAD shows buffer size error every time when audio export starts it forces me to dismiss it on every new region export.
I contacted UAD support and they tried to help for a few weeks, but all troubleshooting was based on reinstalling software and connecting UAD to another Thunderbolt port. Nothing worked actually. Eventually they offered me a discount for some new plugins. Which would be great if any of them would work without crashing randomly.
All I can say, it is an amazing piece of gear and software which is simply not for Cubase and Mac users.

I have 2 quad already, FireWire and Thunderbolt. This one runs perfectly with my system. It's a cpu saver when come the Jumbo sessions.
Just one thing, be sure that you ordered the thunderbolt 3 cable and your computer has at least a thunderbolt 3 port. Otherwise, you have a order a thunderbolt adapter and those cables are quite expensive.
If you need a kick to boost your UA system processing power, this is the no brainer option. I would guess the other scenario would be to use it standalone to add support for UA plugins to an existing system, particularly useful in a mobile solution.
Unboxed it, plugged it in my Apollo x8p, switched on: it popped up the registration web page. Overall I was done with all of that in about 2 minutes, and up and running. Could not have been simpler than that.
Handling the unit it also feels sturdy, which seems relevant if you use it a lot in mobile scenarios.
The Quad unit is cheaper but I'd recommend the extra investment for the Octo. This is especially true if this is the only UA processing unit you use: 4 DSPs is not a lot, and if you run at higher sample rates you will definitely run out of juice sooner than you like.

I bought an Apollo x8 and have been in love ever since. But part of being in love is the selection of plug-ins. I only have 37 plug-ins, which is somewhat modest by pro audio standards. But quickly my productions at home were taxing my fully-loaded MacBook Pro. I read that the Satellite is really necessary if you're serious about your home recording. And I am.
Set-up is dead-simple. After I loaded one of my more complex projects (from Ableton Live) there was a little jittery freak-out with my CPU meter going all over the place. But after about 45-60 seconds everything calmed down and my project playback was 100% glitch-free with PLENTY of CPU headroom to spare. It's an expensive "add-on" but, again, if you're serious, it's worth it.
