Overall: The fine print at Zoom said the UAC-2's performance is not guaranteed for AMD CPU's and non-Intel USB chipsets are not supported. I asked Zoom support in New York if they plan to ever support AMD, he responded by saying my wish will be forwarded to the Developers in Japan for consideration. Used the Zoom for a week on AMD A10 system with Windows 10. Never lost the USB 3 Superspeed link, and the driver never popped or malfunctioned in any way.
It has been working flawlessly the whole time. It's real simple to use but need to do a crash study on how to operate it correctly to achieve optimum performance. I've tried out the Mic, streaming audio, MIDI, guitar, various virtual instruments. It works very well with Omnisphere and IK's Amplitube. A little slow with 32 bit applications. It has several live action clip lights that are useful adjusting the gain. I'm using CBI TS cables no problems, but they are very hard to plug in and remove.
The Zoom is an excellent upgrade, just what's needed, I'm very happy with it on an AMD system. Need it now but short of cash?
