M'kay, so the Benchmark DAC-1 is apparently a fantastic unit, and by the looks of it, it has a monitor volume knob. This, to me, makes sense. Digital out from 002R to DAC-1, and from there to the monitors. Cool.

Hi, I was wondering if there's a big difference in the Multiface converters when compared to AD8 through a Digiface. Opinions would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of a Multiface along with an Apogee Mini-Me and Minidac. The RMEs would be for the rare occasion when I need more than two channels.

Thanks!

Hi all,

i want your opinion about the best sounding ad da converters on the market these days ?

i'm a recording mastering engineer and i'm using outboard gear (tube eq's and compression) when i master and i'm using the RME ad's and they are good converters,i am satisfied with their results in recordings, but in mastering they are ok,i'm sure there are better ones

I don't know if this is widely known and I'm just slow to the party, or if this is really that new, but Lynx has released two new stand-alone converter boxes. If they do for stand-alones what they did for "in-the-box" conversion - this is bound to be exciting.

Until now, I have been tracking to a Mackie hard disk recorder (SDR) and then dumping all the tracks onto my computer for editing/mixing, but I have decided that this process is too inefficient and am going to sell the recorder and record straight to the computer. So now i need an audio interface, but I'm having problems finding any that will suit my needs and price range.

Hi Guys,

What do you think of the MOTU 2408 MKII converters ?
I want to use them to A/D convert from Fostex G16 1/2" tape to my PC.

Thanks !

Has anyone had experience with the RME ADI-8 DS 8-Channel AD/DA and Format Converter? Is it recommended and is there anything better you can recommend that's in the same price range?

Has anyone heard of these?
I just tracked using a sonifex redbox adda and its pretty incredible!
I ve used apogees, still own a swissonic ad24 (which i ll obviously be dumping) and these sound on a par with the apogees at 24 48k and MUCH better than the ad24.
I know they use sonifex da's in Cedar units but not much else. I got mine for a stunning 400£ new ...

What do you think of the costs of A/D converters? Do you think cost really does represent the true value of them? Also if so or if not, which converters do you like or dislike?

Hi guys, i have an old ADAT model and a digi 001 and i want to know which converters would you prefer. I heard there are some differences between ADAT models, in that case could you specify which model are you tlaking about.
Thak you in advance. eFe
