Is it fair to compare say an ad122 vs an Apogee200?

i was looking into the lavry's and the price is so much higher than the apogee's

does anyone run the Lavry? and can a comape and contrast be done to an Apogeeunit?

I'm about to upgrade to Lavry Blue converters - currently using Frontier Designs Tango24 with Dakota interface card.

The digital I/O between Tango24 and Dakota is ADAT optical (lightpipe).

Digital I/O on the Lavry is AES/EBU.

Is there such a thing as an AES/EBU to ADAT optical converter? Or will I have to replace the Dakota with another audio interface?

I have the Rosetta 800 now. Has any one done any comparisons on the Lavry vs Apogee thing.

Has anyone come across this? It's on the Lavry website, and costs around $250. It's interesting to see something like this from one of the most prestigious companies in the industry -sort of like Neumann doing a $20 dynamic!

I really hate to ask this question..but I have no way to locally audition for myself. My setup is a Panasonic DA7, Eventide Eclipse.Kurzweil Rumour, Masterlink, Alesis HD24, 2 API 512c, Langevin DVC, Great River 1MNV. I do mostly R&B, Gospel, Funk. My questions are, has anyone used either of these converters. based on my info, which would you choose or suggest. Thanks
