Notes: Current product per aphex.com/products listing. System requirements listed on manufacturer page are dated (Mac OSX 10.5+, Windows XP SP3-8.1), suggesting this design has not been refreshed recently even though Aphex still lists it as current - flagged as a possible stale/legacy-adjacent current listing. SNR 109dB unweighted, THD+N 0.002%. Price not published by Aphex; retail prices found ranged widely ($199-$500 across different retailers/eras) with Sweetwater showing it as no-longer-available, so price_usd left blank rather than picking one inconsistent figure.
