I'm looking to upgrade my converters. Any suggestions.

I'm thinking about mostly 2 channel converters in the $1000 range.

Some that I have looked at:

-Lucid A/D 9624 (Several reports of something funky going on in the high-end that's not realistic.)

-Mytek Stereo96 ADC (Read one report on RAP of "sterile sounding".)

Hi, I am confused about something here, can't find the answer anywhere:

I'm looking hard at a Lynx soundcard. Easy enough right?

I have been reading posts from many boards about these, and how much people love them. Fine.

Then I start reading about people also have their Lynx cards connected to A/D converters, external clocks, D/A converters. What/why/Oh no.

I have the option to A/D with either the MOTU 896 or Finalizer 96k...has anyone tested them and know which sounds better in the end?

Recently I have had the luck of being around some pretty good equipment. Including some very nice converters. I have heard the Lynx22, Apogeerosetta, and a pro tools rig. All sounded very nice. I couldn't really pick out much because I dont know how much of the sound I was hearing was contributed to the pre,mic,or effects.

I've got a Digi001 rig with a PreSonus Digimax as my mic preamp. I use the ADAT output on the Digimax into pro tools as to free up all the analog i/o's on the 001 for outboard gear/additional mics. My question is regarding converters vs external wordclocks.

I would like to know which 2 input soundcard you would recommend or consider to be the best A/D converters. I want to buy something to get nice clean results.
thanks :p:

Hello, does anyone have an opinion as to the difference in sound quality with the original 2408, 2408MKII or MKIII models? I own the original and want to add another for 16 channels. The originals are going for aprox $150 while the newer models are $300 and $800. Is it worth the extra cost or should I maybe even look into different converters all together.
