Helix LT vs Apollo Twin Mk1 As Interface

[aday702480]

 I'm considering selling my Helix LT and getting Helix Native. I currently have a UA Apollo Twin Mk1 interface. Hoping someone has technical knowledge with both the Helix LT and Apollo Twin. I'm not going to list all of my computer specs, but, keep in mind the desktop I'd be running Native on is armed to the teeth with the best of the best. 

 

Are the converters in the Apollo Twin better than the converters in the Helix LT? 

Is the HI Z input on the Apollo a better input than the Helix LT input? 

Would I gt a lot more latency on the Apollo than I do with Helix? 

Overall, is the Apollo a better interface than the Helix LT when considering both as an interface? 

 

Thank you.

1) not so much that the average human can tell the difference

2) 1M is 1M, but the Helix has variable settings starting at 10k, which makes a difference with some effects like fuzz

3) The apollo has better latency when used with VSTs. It's on-board amps are said to be quite good.

4) Depends what you're doing

 

I have a Helix Floor which I plug the guitar into. Same zero latency monitoring as the Apollo.

I use a Scarlett 18i20 for an interface as it has many more Ins/Outs and better latency than Helix when used with VSTs.

The Helix is a better guitar device, and can be used live - do you REALLY want to bring your computer to Joe's sleazy Dive Bar'n'Grill?

Keep the Apollo and use both for what they're best at.
