Apogee  have done it again and raised the bar very high indeed with the Symphony I/O Mk II 2×6 Special Edition that offers the highest quality AD/DA conversion of the Symphony series.
Designed specifically for mastering engineers whose critical work demands ultimate sonic performance, 2×6 SE takes advantage of the latest advancements in digital and analog audio technology to offer inputs with 124 dB (A) of dynamic range, THD+N of -116dB and outputs with 131dB (A) dynamic range and an astonishingly low THD+N of -118dB. We dare you to compare these specifications to our competitors – 2×6 SE’s combined specs outperform just about any AD/DA converter available today.  
What sets the Symphony I/O Mk II 2×6 apart is it's it's 3 configurations.

The Symphony I/O Mk II 2×6 SE is available preconfigured for Thunderbolt or Pro Tools HD or it can be purchased as an expansion module for any existing Mk II configuration.
There's also an the  option for Waves Sound Grid Network.
This is a beast and follows in Apogee"s tradition of high quality audio interfaces.
