First, thanks in advance for any comments. Second, apologies to anyone who subscribes to other threads and have seen the same question from me or other people.

I am looking at purchasing something along the lines of a used Yamaha AW4416 and would like some input as to what is out there that would be comparable. Are the other 16 track units in the same league, or does the AW4416 stand alone because of the automated mixdown capabilities, etc.

Hello there! Does anyone knows if the 828 or the 896 will work as a standalone converter? If you just plug it's outputs (lightpipe) into a digi001 turn it on, will it send a signal out? Or evenif you run DP on the background... I don't know, I'm just curious!
