    Default Best A/D - Lowest Price

    Apogee Mini-Me used. What do you guys think? I want a high quality A/D and clock to go digitally into my M-Audio ProjectMix I/O running pro tools M-powered. I really only need one channel. Think the Apogee Mini-Me is the way to go? Seems to be well known that Apogee is the best A/D. IS the Mini-ME up to par?

    Here's another thought...

    For the same price:

    Mytek AD192

    For lower price:

    Lucid

    For a little more:

    Lavry

    Thanks guys. Apogee AD8000 would be nice but too expensive. Does Mini-Me have the same technology?

    Keep in mind I only need one channel golden channel. I've never heard of Lavry, Mytek, or Lucid. I'll keep those in mind.

    I'm also thinking of maybe a pre-amp with built in A/D. Perhaps SSL Alpha XLogic or ISA 430 or ISA 220. I'm trying to record vocals, guitar and bass for pop and metal. I'm open to suggestions or tips.

    Hmmm...Lavry, Mytek and Lucid are 3 of the finest names in conversion. Check out www.atlasproaudio.com for pricing and information.

    For a pre with built in conversion, I don't think there's a better combo than the API A2D.

    Yeah, that's not what I meant.

    I meant, I like the AD8000 that I have...

    You are actually looking to buy something in the 400 dollar price range, am I correct in that assumption?

    I'd like to stay under $1500 for one channel. The Apogee Mini-Me is ~$800. It'd be great if it could be a quality pre-amp too. I'm looking hard at the SSL Alpha XLogic. Don't know much about that unit in particular though.

    Oh, you're talking about the Mini-DAC?
    Sorry, I was looking at the wrong thing on Apogee's PDF.

    That XLogic does look nice...

    ...So do the suggestions Jeremy gave you.

    That might be why you believe Apogee is the best. It's not. Still decent though.
