M-Audio emailed me and told me there is no way to avoid the A/D conversion.
I don't know how good the converters are. I read some good things about this
preamp/compressor and am hoping to get some user feedback. I'd love to get a
couple of channels of Vintech or Averill but money is an issue. The most I'd
want to commit is 3-500 per channel.
I was considering selling my A&H MixWizard 14:4:2+ because I don't like the
preamps in it- and the Onyx by Mackie are suppose to be really good but I'd
rather just spend the money I'd lose on preamps.

Thanks,

Thanks- I have 2 RNC and I love them. A friend just turned me on to another
really good preamp- Sytek- 4 channels- super clean and well made- no frills-
less than $900

I'd almost prefer a RNP and 2 other pre amps with different colors. I won't
be doing much more than 2 or 3 tracks at a time.

The popular choice around here is the FMR RNP, $500 for two very clean
neutral preamps.
