the Alesis HD24XR 96k. It uses the same A/D's as the $13k Radar
96, and I like the AKM 5393 D/A converters in there better than the
rough sounding Analog Devices AD1855 dac's in the Radar. $2500 for 48
channels of 96k converters, oh, and they throw in a hard drive
recorder in for free!
Have you modded one yet?
Yes, as I own one. It has the 33079 opamps replaced with the best 14
pin sm quad opamp, the BurrBrown OPA4134. The coupling caps are
replaced, high voltage film caps are installed in the switching psu, a
low noise fan and filter foam was installed.
I ran it up against a stock Radar 96 recording a Drum Workshop kit
with modified AKG mics, Kimber silver wire and Audio Upgrades High
Speed Mic Preamps. The Radar sounds fine, but the Alesis had better
top end detail and microharmonics, and the low end killed the radar
for depth.
Thanks...
