The 11R was a great product, but Avid never really seemed to be behind it, and when most of the development team moved on (or were laid off), it essentially became an abandoned product. The surprise driver in April 2021 was a welcome thing, but only for Intel users, and as is normal for Avid, designed for a MacOS that was a year behind, so was pretty much obsolete by the time it was released. Apple had announced their intention to convert to in-house silicon a year or more prior, and had begun shipping Apple-silicon machines minths before the release.

I’m OK using my 11R into my interface via SPDIF, but it would be nice to have an M1-compatible driver with full functionality. Given Avid’s history though, it’s probably just a pipe-dream.
