Uad 2 octo pci expres

[geky]

hello, now I use plugins from waves in the studio, especially C1 and L1, but I would like something better for compression, reverb, delay to make my work easier and sound nicer, I thought about uad 2 octo pci express, can you tell me if there is a big difference, obviously, between the compressors from uad 2 octo and those from waves? does it have reverb, really good delay, I wonder if I am not making a mistake and regret if I buy uad 2 octo, I prefer pci express for to remove thunderbolt. I saw that it has very high system requirements, would it work with a cpu i7 3400mhz gen3.16gb ram ddr3 1333mhz? I don't know why it needs such a system configuration if it has its own processors? Thenks

Before you spend a lot of money on the Octo card, have a free trial of UAD Spark subscription. There you have all the popular plugins running as native versions (that doesn't need the UAD hardware). And you'll get the idea whether they are better than Waves. There isn't a version of L1 included though, but plenty of other compressors..
