Best Upgrade for "quality"?

Hi friends,

I know it's generally socially unacceptable to create a new thread for your first post on a forum, but I've been reading over these forums a lot and most people seem willing to offer good advice to the 'new' guys. It also seems that the best responses come from specific "scenarios" or "setups", so I figured, I'd throw mine out and see what you all come up with. :)

Passing quality digital through cheap spdif

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if passing the signal from a high quality converter to my PC via a cheap interface will cause degradation. I have a cheap Edirol interface through which I'd like to pass a stereo signal from Apogee converters. I don't want to have to buy something like an RME Digiface, as it would be overkill.

Many thanks,
John Stafford

quality issues

Hi all

i am really having some quality issues here between 2 different set ups, and the one i thought would be much better isn't.

Real simple. I have been runing a taylor 314e direct into a 2480, touch of comp and to a track. Sounds really great, clear and crisp.

Allen & Heath GS3 16:8:2 Mixer - Preamps Quality?

Hi,

First post. I hope I can contribute a bit as time goes by as well as picking brains here!

Does anyone have a view on the quality of this mixer's preamps? It's about 10 years old and no longer manufactured. I got a view over at Cubase.net that Allen & Heath mixers are generally well regarded but nothing specific on the preamps.
