Could I use a VRM with Apogee Duet? If so, How?

I am in the same situation. I have an Apogee Duet (version 1) and am looking to use the Focusrite VRM box with a set of AKG K-702 headphones. Because there is no S/PDIF input on the Duet, I am wondering if the devices can be aggregated (as opposed to switching back back and forth).

I did some searching and someone mentioned over on a logic board that aggregation would be possible at the cost of latency. Anyone have any experience using the new Focusrite VRM box with an Apogee Duet (or any other interface without S/PDIF for that matter)? If so, how do you have it set up?

Thanks!

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've been thinking about picking up the VRM box and having an Apogee Duet One as well, was wondering if there would be anyway to set this up via s/pdif. I'm guessing if I connected it through USB only, then it would be a real pain to switch audio drivers during a session, unless there's a faster way to do this..

Bump, anyone have an idea?

You should be able to aggregate them no problem, though performance can be spotty, esp. latency performance. This is really more of a problem on the input side, so in your case aggregating ought to work well.

If you're using Logic and aren't trying to get more outputs with the VRM, you can just select one device for input (Apogee Duet/One) and the VRM as the output device.

If you are looking for a headphone processor that you can listen to music with that doesn't require extra hardware, check out Audiofile's Fidelia + FHX, which I helped design

Apogee duet 1 is not supported by apple device aggregate. At least not the last time I read over at the apogee site. It may have changed recently, tho... It may work for a time, under perfect conditions. But it was not officially supported.
I wish it were, tho!
