from what i here the new Tascam has some banging new converters in the dm4800 series. should i just go with the new boards converters or spend 2500 on a rosetta 200. are they they same quality. or am i just going over board with this converter situation? thanks

I've been doing quite a lot of research and read lots of recording forums from different sites about the Apogee Rosetta 200 that i was thinking about purchasing it as my next gear purchase.

Well, first off here's my gear list:

Greetings!
I'm currently using M-Audio FireWire 410 as the audio interface as well as A/D converter with my MacBook Pro.
In a couple of days I'll begin using Mac Pro in place of MacBook Pro.

hi guys. i'm looking to upgrade my converters. I was kind of sure I wanted a Rosetta 200 (instead of RME ADI2 which was my original pick) but now I'm wondering if it would be better to get a Mytek96 ADC combined with Benchmark DAC1.

I'm trying to set up as goos a monitoring chain as possible since living in a condo I'm a bit restricted to limited speaker monitoring.

i'm in the process of shopping for an external converter. My budget is under $2000. (lavrys are too expensive for me right now, myteks - i don't want to run into customer service type of issues if ever i have problems in the future) so my choice kinda boiled down to either rosetta 200 or RME ADI-2. rosetta is $1800 whereas RME ADI2 is $700.

What I have:
Korg Triton Extreme 88
Event ASP8
Neumann 103
Athlon 3200, and a 3700 with 1 gig and 2 gig systems

What I need:
To record my wife, and also record (pass through) the spidif from triton to DAW

If I use a rosetta on the S/PDIF ins on my mbox, being still limited to 24bit/48kHz in Pro Tools LE, amd I going to notice a big difference in sound quality? I use a RODE K2 with a Vipre and I'm pretty damned happy with the sound. An 1176 is my next purchase (very soon).

May be a silly question but the worst question is the one that is not asked

Would you take a RME ADi 2 / Hammerfall with a Master clock ( ex Big Ben ) Over a Rosetta 200 with the firewire option

Anyone using it ? Hows it sound? :D
