After months of testing and - honestly - confusion, I finally wrapped my head around the StreamerX 4K audio interface / 4K capture card combo from RØDE. Conclusion: it IS actually awesome, you just need to be aware of one thing - but that is pretty important and can ruin your experience. Which is why I think that it will get exponentially better with the next iteration. Find out how in this episode.
