32bit float is great for creativity. I had absolutely 0 problems with setup. I didn't have to install anything or hunt around for obscure settings. I unplugged my Focusrite Scarlett, plugged in the Zoom, verified it was selected in MacOS setting - it was. Launched a new project in Logic Pro 11.2, the record settings defaulted to 32-bit float. I plugged in my Telecaster, set the Zoom to 'inst', selected input 1 and pressed record and the result was perfect.
Record feather light harmonics and edit them to be as loud as church bells. Play loud, play quiet, move the mic around, change guitars. You don't have to dial anything in. To me this makes a huge difference.
I hesitate before buying this because of some nit-picking reviews about the build quality. This is definitely feels more like 'computer-equipment' than 'road-gear', but the quality feels fine to me. I'm comparing it to the Focusrite Scarlett. The master volume on the Zoom is slightly smaller than the one on the Focusrite, but they feel like they came from the same factory. The gain controls on the Focusrite have a nice rubberized coated gain controls that have a nice resistance when you adjust them. The Zoom donesn't need gain controls. The Zoom has a volume control for its headphone jack that's dampened like the Focusrite, but without the nice rubberized coating. I really like the little rails on the corners of the Zoom - They include little velcro cord keepers to use with them.

Por ahora la mejor interfaz que he prob…

Lo mejor por el precio, probado en mac, facil configurar con obs
Probe en mac m1, fácil configurar, ir a la configuración midi del zoom poner en entrada 192 khz a 32 bits y en salida la que necesites para Obs en mi caso a 48 khz a 32 bits lo deje en salida. Se reproduce sin ruido, incluso con un micrófono de baja calidad y precio. Ah instalar el sowfare de control también en su pagina oficial.

32-bit float mode, extraordinary dynamic range, no more analog gain knob-revolutionary new features!
We have tested one unit of Zoom UAC-232 that we bought here using Multi-Instrument V3.9.9.0. We were particular interested in its dual-ADC architecture and how it performs under 32-bit float mode. The dynamic range of its XLR mic input was found to be about 136.4 dBA or 134.3 dB, which outperforms those single ADC solutions by more than 10 dB. With a proper microphone, it is possible to capture sound across the entire human hearing range without sacrificing fidelity or encountering clipping, and this can be achieved without the need for analog gain adjustment. This is a highly desirable feature in sound recording and measurement industries. With the digital gain set to 0dB, the signal was found to clip at 0 dBFS (ref. the sample value of 1). -3dB frequency response was measured to be from about 9.8Hz to very close to the 1/2 sampling rate selected, and was very flat in between, just as what is stated in its specifications. 1kHz THD can be as low as 0.0006% at some signal levels. It was found that the switching between the high-gain ADC and low-gain ADC occurs at 0.03 Vrms, where a very small abrupt change in noise level, THD, THD+N and input-output linearity can be measured, but not heard.

Disappointing
I was super excited to get an interface with 32 bit float recording. I was disappointed when I opened it and realized how cheap it is. Huge disappointment to say the least. For some unknown reason they put little wheels on the bottom, it moves back-and-forth. See my video. also, the knobs are small and they rattle. Pales in comparison to the quality and workmanship of the focusrite scarlet series. sadly, I cannot recommend this product.
