Running on Windows!
I've chosen the Arrow for the sole reason to have the minimal latency of Thunderbolt. I'm on Windows with a Thunderbolt card and it's running great. 32 samples through 4 IR cabinet mic's, without glitches. Feel is really great and direct when playing guitar now. Worth it!
And the quality of the included Marshall Plexi plugin is the best I've ever used (for a digital plugin amp).
Only 1 funny thing, you'll need to disable Intel VT in the BIOS, otherwise the Arrow will shutdown.

Direct Record makes up for a LOT!
Arrow single core here. Not the most powerful of the bunch, but the direct record option makes up for a whole lot. Now I can record directly into Cubase and have an amp lined up in the console instead of having to run plugs in Cubase. This has a similar result to freezing a track, since the plugin is only loaded in the console, not as a Cubase insert. This means I don't need all the power at one time and I monitor directly from the console with zero latency, not through Cubase (recommend watching a few YouTube videos to see how it works). I love my Arrow and the Thunderbolt 3 on Win 10 is like, uh, LIGHTNING- foolproof so far. You just need to find the right motherboard that supports T3- (Dell XPS here). You can't go wrong on a budget with the Arrow. And the Engl Amp sim, phew! Beautiful tone that I can only get from a real amp.

Arrow perfect in every way for home and travel
I already owned an apollo II quad but recently I purchased the arrow. It is perfect for home use but I use it especially when travelling. The luxury with the thunderbolt is great for direct connection with my laptop. I don’t need anything else. Thanks for this invention. Kind regards Dirk

Fantastic
This is like the Apple of interfaces... Coming from Apogee, I can say that the quality is better, and the device is much more durable. This thing is more than what you pay for with the included software

EVERYTHING I DIDNT KNOW I NEEDED TILL I NEEDED IT!!!
I just joined the UA family within the past year but my clients and I quickly fell in love with the Apollo in my home studio. The plugins and console control have been a game changer. It wasn't until I was at a writing camp and had to cut a rough vocal demo on my Apogee MiC that I realized how much I've come to rely on my UA gear to enhance my work flow and overall sonics. I was SOO frustrated by the latency and even more annoyed by having to go back and undo all the changes I'd made to my template, switching out my unusable UA plugins with the old ones I used to use. First world problems at their best, but regardless it only took once for me to realize I needed an Arrow. I love the portability and the reliability of knowing I can track /mix just as easily while sitting in the park/airport/hotel as I can in my studio. LOVE this product!

Just Perfect!
With the purchase of a new MacBook pro, I needed to replace my old Firewire interface. After tons of research and asking around, I settled on the Arrow. As most of the use will be for Voice Over, I liked the portability of this unit, as well as the UA reputation for solid build quality and support.
I also jumped over to a new DAW, and thought the Arrow would be the steeper learning curve. Thankfully I couldn't have been more wrong. The Arrow set up process took about 15 minutes. I viewed a tutorial with an engineer and artist, and learned everything I needed to know about how to operate the unit.
I dialed in a few settings on the included plug ins, and my voice has never sounded so good.
Easy to set up, easy to use, and a very intuitive interface. Just perfect!

UAD ARROW UN AUTRE MONDE, ANOTHER WORLD
Fantastique interface audio en Thunderbolt 3 et surtout des Plugs in d'une incroyable qualité. J'utiliserai toujours les excellents Plugs de Logic pro mais avec UAD on n'a plus vraiment envie d'aller voir ailleurs. A quand un mode d'emploi en Français ? Sinon bravo et félicitations pour la qualité de vos produits, le service après vente et votre politique commerciale de suivi. Bien cordialement, Bernard.
With UAD products & plugs in, we enter in another world ! Congratulations for all your services & products. Keep rocking', kind regards, Bernard.

A quality interface
This is a clear step up audio quality wise from my previous focusrite 2i2, as it should be when you look at the price difference. I recorded a vocal and an acoustic guitar track using the same mics with both interfaces for comparison and the difference is quite clear. Haven't been using it long enough to have an opinion of the UAD plugin platform yet.
I've seen some people complain that you can only track with about three plugins before you run out of DSP. You can easily track with, for instance, amp sim, reverb and delay, who needs more than that?
Anyway, very happy so far, the audio quality is smooth and buttery and it makes me want to create and record.

Gros problème d'alimentation
Gros problème d'alimentation via USB C, un adaptateur aurais été la bien venu, impossible de brancher un SSD + une ilok et la carte sur un MacBook Pro ! Très déçu !

Uad Arrow on usb type c !!!
Dear universal audio company, do uad arrow on usb type c !!! not everyone has a thunderbolt 3, you lose a lot of audience !!! Thunderbolt 3 is a very complex and not always compatible protocol !!! Make on usb type c or usb 3

Little confusing and a bit noisy
In general the interface is a bit confusing for example how to enable monitor outs from the computer and mic in without looping the mic to the monitors? Possible but nearly impossible to figure out. Also the unit is quite sensitive to Thunderbolt bus noise passing straight into the audio path.

Great little device, great preamps and plugins.
Replaced my Røde NT-USB Microphone with the Arrow interface and Røde Procaster microphone, just so much more control over the settings, and drives the dynamic Procaster just fine, with pretty low self noice even at 80% gain. Plugins took some time for me to learn, but after som time I found great setup for my need with Unison preamp, compressor, de-esser and EQ for voiceover and podcast. Planing to do some music recording in the future. Great thing that it is only one Thunderbolt 3 Cable for both power and data.
Have had a few issues though, where the problem is I don't know, since I have it connected through my OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock, but have had it restart several times over a few days, not sure what the issue was, tried hard reset several times, unplug my dock, and did not help, but when I disconnected the cable from my Mac (2018 MacBook Pro 15") the issue disappeared and have not been back since. Second it would be nice to be able to have more settings for the monitor out, only 14 dBu, and still my Genelec 8010A monitors set to -10db is very loud at the lower setting, would be nice with a -10dBu or even -20dBu, or maybe just make the output for the monitors stepless dBu in setting, so we can dail in the exact volume that fits each need.

Doesn't Work on MAC
I just spent so much on this plus plugins, and it works maybe 1 out of 10 times that I plug it in. Input signal just cuts out and I have to restart it multiple times until it works again. Not reliable for any serious work.

Good basic unit, that's all... Very limited with what it can do. Disappointing...
When this came out a few months ago, all the reviews were great, but this unit is far from that. If you plan on using any more than one or two plugins, especially if you are paying the high prices to buy neve unison plugins or anything else they sell. Just one Neve unison plug in takes up 85% of the available memory of the arrow's ability. I called and talked to customer service after waiting for 2 hours on hold over the course of 2 days and they basically told me that this unit only has one DSP chip and that's all it's supposed to do and that I should buy a more expensive unit. I already bought a $3000 new macbook pro and spent a lot of money on this Arrow to go with it, plus buy the Thunderbolt cable it doesnt come with. It's fine if you do VERY basic recording with almost no processing, but it's super limited with what it can do. Also, I A/B'd it with my Focusrite 18i20 and it sounds basically the same. I really wish I could return this unit, but I didn't figure out it's huge limitations until I spent another $600 on plugins to actually USE this thing the way I want to and that it should work in my opinion. I wouldn't buy this unit again and I'd advise anyone planning to do anything more than just very basic recording with almost no plugins not to buy it. I would bet all the 5 star reviews are either written by employees or people that are just starting out recording that don't know better. It does work well and sounds pretty good though, so that's why it didn't get 1 star.
