    Question:

     

    What are people doing to use this piece of gear?  Everything else that I have used and owned is so simply “plug and play” until I added the H9k to my rig.

    Is it better to get a “USB C to USB B” cable to connect my H9k to the Lightening port of the MacBook Pro (why does Eventide use this USB B type and if so, where can I get the best cable?  Does it need to be “Audio Grade” or just a regular USB B to USB C?  The Apple store employees looked at me like I was out of my mind when I asked for a USB B cable.)  I am using the 2025 MacBook Pro which is equipped with Lightening 5 ports.

     

    or

     

    is it better to connect the H9k to the Apollo X8 gen2 via Optic cables (instead of connecting to the MacBook with USB).

     

    somebody please advise.  Thank you so much.  I have spent way too much time trying to get this connected and running and zero time being able to create.  I appreciate the help.
