Does the rosetta have the same clock chip as the Big Ben? Does anyone know if there is a difference?

Im thinking of purchasing the Apogee Rosetta 800 and (when its available) purchase the Fire wire X card so I can run this straight into my computer. That way I can toss my Aardvark Q10. But then, when i press play on my cubase, how Im I going to hear a stereo pair to send to my monitors ? and How will I'll eb able to mintors what is coming into the Rosetta ? Thanks

Anyone using (or planning on using, i'm not sure if they are shipping yet) the new Rosetta 200 with the X-Firewire expansion card? I was thinking of upgrading soundcards, but I might just wait for this, as I don't have any nice converters. I only need two channels for now.

Any word on these?

thanks

I need these three devices to chase the same clock source. I want the main clock source to be from the Rosetta. I will be recording 2 Channels from the Rosetta Via S/PDIF and 8 Channels from the Octane Via ADAT.

-The Rosetta has WC out, ADAT out, and S/PDIF out.

-The Octane has WC in & out, and ADAT out.

I'm new to the a/d conversion table. I see that the Rosetta clearly has 8 channel capability while the ad16x has 16, although the prices seem all too similar to just be 'another 8 channels for the ad16x'. I'm not sure, other than the 8 channels, what the difference is between the Rosetta800 and the AD16x? They both appear to be A/D converters w/ the great Apogeeword clock technology.

Okay I have a chance to get a 2 channel Apogee Rosetta AD with the 24/96 upgrade for cheap! I'm currently running PT LE with a 002.

If I use this unit, I will of course have to do my sessions in 24/48 because I will use the rosetta's ADAT output. Is it worth it to go from 24/96 down to 24/48 just to use an Apogee?

I am planning to change my old computer based studio equipment in to the new one. New DAW should be based on Apogiee Rosetta 200 ad/da with firewire card.

Any experience with that model ?

How many milliseconds exactly is "near to zero" :evil: latency (Rosetta 200 + X-Firewire card) ?

Anybody light pipe'n a Rosetta 800 to an 896? How is it work'n out? I'm ask'n cause I have an 896 and I should be get'n my Rosetta in the mail any day now.

does anybody know how Apogee's DA16 compare to Rosetta 800's DA's ? thanks

Opus, congrats sir! Sounds like you had a great wedding/honeymoon! Havn't been around here in a while. Just wanted to ask you about the rosetta 800 and the firewire option. This is the route I want to take using firewire. Is this option going to be out any time soon? I have yet to purchase the rosetta 800 but going to very soon. :p:
