UAD-1 to UAD-1e Upgrade?

[alfadog]

Does UAD have any upgrade offer to go from a UAD-1 to a UAD-1e card? I bought a new system and had to add a firewire card to one of the PCI slots, rendering one of my 3 UAD-1 pci cards useless. Instead of selling it on Ebay, is there any offers to trade up through UAD?

Not a trade, but if you have pci card i register a pcie you get a voucher. the amount depends on the pak.

Buy a new UAD-Nevana X2, get an additional UAD$250 voucher
Buy a new Express PAK, get an additional UAD$100 voucher
Buy a new Expert PAK, get an additional UAD$250 voucher
Buy a new Extreme PAK, get an additional UAD$250 voucher
Buy a new Xpander Xpress, get an additional UAD$100 voucher
Buy a new Xpander Xpert, get an additional UAD$250 voucher
Buy a new Xpander Xtreme, get an additional UAD$250 voucher

also if you register a new card you get a 150$ coupon.

Even without the promotions i think its worth to sell the pci and buy pcie, you dont have much choice

I believe http://www.jrrshop.com is still offering $200.00 trade-in, for a used PCI card when you purchase a new PCIe. As a UAD-1 forum member they also kick in another 10% discount on top of their listed web shop price.

I purchased (2) PCIe cards from them last December and was real happy with the price & service. A nice caveat is Eric (who runs the company) is a regular UAD-1 forum poster and avid UAD-1 user.

I did not do the trade-in though, I elected to sell one of my PCI cards on ebay. I actually got a pretty good deal. Since it was a Mackie card (which automatically comes with the LA2A & 1176LN) I was able to get top dollar ($500) and I was still able to keep my original licenses for the LA2A & 1176LN, in my account. That was very nice of UA!

Yup, we're still doing our trade-up program and I think the 15% 'Group' discount might actually work on it. You might want to check to see if you can mix PCI and PCIe cards first, though, it could be that you'll have to have to replace all your cards.
