Hi,

I need to split analog out from Apogee Rosetta 200 (XLR balanced line, adjustable between +2 and +26 dBu, usually +4dBu) to feed monitor amp and headphone amp.

How to do and what is the most transparent solution?

Thank you very much in advance

Ok, folks. Another dilemma.

We have a DAC-1, back end of the audio spectrum(out from DAW). Want 2 kno what is the difference or which is better sonically between these 2:

Apogee Rosetta 200 vs Benchmark DAC-1

Wanted 2 knno from others about which end is more improtant 2 have(if u have 2 have just the 1)?

We are a hip hop production team/company. We make beats using mostly samples and keyboard. So we dont do any live recording. No special outboard gear(yet). We track using our beat machines(MPC/Triton) patched directly 2 our Digi 002. Thats it.

How much quality is lost when going from A/D/A/D? Right now I have all of my outboard gear setup so I compress and EQ going into my DAW and use plugins for mixing and editing but I would like to start using the outboard stuff as inserts into my DAW.

So how do most studios do it? Record clean and insert the outboard gear later, or track with some compression and EQ?

I'm looking for a high-end converter unit to use as a front end for a PC native DAW (SONAR.) It's my understanding that...for such a device (Lavry, Apogee, UA, etc.) to interface with a PC DAW...I would need a PCI digital interface (e.g., AES/EBU.)

Is that correct?

I recently purchased what was supposed to be a Frontier Designs Tango24 8-channel D/A and A/D converter. What I received was a 20-bit Tango (no 24). I sent it back and should be getting a refund soon.

Hello, I am a relative NEWBIE when it comes to digital audio recording. I purchased a Terratec EWS88D soundcard for a workstation I was building and then realized that I would need

I am looking for a relatively inexpensive 8-channel D/A to generate headphone mixes. I actually need 16-channels total, but 2 X 8-channel systems will work. I am going to be feeding these from my RME 9652 via ADAT at 44.1, and taking the analog outs to a mixer for headphone mix generation.

Can someone help me understand. Which matters most?
The digital to analog converters or the bit resolution?
Mainly, going to CD or even CD-R.
