I'm currently considering loosing the DDA qmr console in the studio,
and am looking for a high quality mixer to run 8 channels from Protools
and possibly a few from a PC for samplers etc.
It must have better preamps than the DDA, cut and solo on each channel.
EQ not too important (I have outboard). But it must have a couple of
aux sends and returns for headphones etc.

I got a
budget of about =804000.

That looks like an odd number in any currency. What are the units, in
text? (here, it appears as "equals 804000") And an equivalent in US
dollars if it's not too much trouble for you to look it up?

Not knowing yet how much you plan to spend, you might want to look at
the Speck LiLo: http://www.speck.com/lilo/lilo.shtml

It doesn't have mic preamps, but that lets you choose whatever tickles
your fancy without being bound to what's in the console or feeling
that you're paying for (console) preamps that you won't use.

Or you could look at a Mackie Onyx 1640.
