I need to connect the dbx376 tube strip that I just recently purchased to my DIGI002 (rack). I'd like to do that via S/PDIF leaving the analog output to a monitor mixer.

The problem is that the host recording app (Cubase SX) doesn't display a External sync option in the combo box for synchronization selection in the ASIO dialog.

I need some advice So, I am in the market to buy a new mic preamp. I have around $500 to spend and I was looking at two:

the dbx 376 - tube mic preamp, compressor, eq & de-esser; digital outs

ART Pro Channel - tube mic preamp, tube compressor, tube eq.
