Could anyone tell me what is the sound quality of the converters on Mackie d8b console? I could get one cheap but it's not about the money.. I don't wanna get something with converters sounding much worse than a decent ouboard converter. I would buy RME 5692 card with 3 ADAT interfaces and use d8b as a mixer/converter going to either nuendo 2 or Cubase sx3.

I am looking to get a better A/D interface; I currently have the M-Audio OMNI Rack. I would really like to get the Apogee AD-16X! What are some converters that are a notch below the Apogee converters-MOTU, RME, etc? I have gotten suggestions to check out the RME stuff because of the quality to price factor of their products.
