Hellos to everybody!

I'm currently building a new room capable of 16 input rec and 64out playback with Nuendo 4.

So I'm trying to figure out the most cost effective hi-end converter/master clock combo available with the best performance/price ratio.

This is probably just idle curiosity considering my financial situation, but I'm a little confused about how people with outboard converters typically interface with their computers. I realize that a lot of people have "legacy" interfaces that have converters and pres, and put their outboard converters through these. But say you are designing a a system from scratch.

from what i here the new Tascam has some banging new converters in the dm4800 series. should i just go with the new boards converters or spend 2500 on a rosetta 200. are they they same quality. or am i just going over board with this converter situation? thanks

I'm about to switch to Pro Tools HD 3 Accel system and I'll be getting an SSL XRack with 2 eight-channel and 2 four-channel summing modules for a total of 24 summing channels. Here is the question though. I'm thinking of buying an SSL Alpha Link 24 channel converter that will be connected to SSL Delta Link which is a MADI to Pro Tools converter box.

I have a finalizer 96k (which from what I read has really good converters) and a L2 maximizer hardware version. It will be at the end of my Alan smart c2 compressor,Avalon 2055,and TUBE-TECH LCA 2b mastering chain.Are these conveters up to the level of the gear or do I need s stand alone like an Apogeesomething or other. Would I even be able to tell the difference?

I have Allen & Heath WZ3 12:2 mixer.I'm looking for A/D converters with 8 analog in . I'm looking to spend arround 900, 1,000 $.Any suggestion

Tnx!

Also,

Everyone says great converters is where its at. Which ones are good without spending a ton of cash?

I am thinking about buying a digi 002. But I heard the coverters are crap?

If I bought logic pro what interface would be best?

Just want to hear some opinions.

Hi, folks
a)Have you ever used the Dynaudio Bm6A, B5A or BM15 for mastering?
I am trying to grow from a modest setup and I do know that nice monitoring is pretty important for mastering tasks.

Just wondering how limited i am sonically with the a/d conversion in
the M-Audio FW 410? Is it possible to get a pro sound? Considering that everything else(room, mics. pres etc.) is up to par in the chain.

I need eight more IOs for my PT HD rig. I currently have a Digidesign 192 that is connected to a Dangerous 2-Bus summing mixer. The summing mixer has eight additional inputs that I would like to utilize. I'm wandering if I should go for another 192, or go with Apogee, or Lynx Aurora. The top of my budget is around $3300.
