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.
