Hi everyone,

Just want to know what is more professional from the following format's :-
For example if i want to buy Yamaha DM200096 v2 to connect it to the Rosetta 800 or the pro tools HD 192 I/O .. In general what is the best format from the following :-
1-ADAT
2-AES/EBU
3-TDIF (Tascam).

Thanks

best ?
if ADAT is all you have for a transfer then use it

but generally whatever works for you ... is best

ADAT stops at 48k
16bit for Type I format
20bit for Type II format
nominally it is a 48kHz, 8-channel, 24-bit data path
BUT
the February 2001 ADDENDUM
tells us about the 96kHz, 4-
channel audio interface using existing ADAT optical hardware.

not sure about TDIF but I think it is similar

AES goes to the 192

Thanks dear KEV for your great input :)

It's clear to me now 8) i will do some search to get more informations about the rest of the format's..

Thanks again
