Hi Kevin,

I'm not totally sure what you are asking.

Are you mixing from an analog source ( mixer? ) and want an A/D converter to
record your final stereo mix to a digital format? Or do you want 4 to 48
channels of A/D so you can record all of the individual tracks initially to
digital but you want the converters to be as good as possible so that when
you mix it turns out well?

You might want to give us a hint at your budget, especially if the latter
scenario is the correct one. In either case I would think that he Lavry
Engineering Blue series converters would do an outstanding job for you.

Best of luck!

I'd look at the Prism and Lavry stuff, as well as the Weiss.

The Grimm box sounded pretty amazing to be with a DSD output, but I
don't know if they have got the PCM output module for it finished yet.

Meitner's converters might also be worth listening to.

The only one of the high end converters I'd suggest staying away from
is the Studer D19.

Do you happen to remember what you didn't like about the Studer?

The sound. They just blew it. I know, hard to believe. Looked real good
on paper...

Oh, THAT. I thought maybe he was disappointed by the lacklustre front
panel graphics.

"The sound." No ****, gittar boy! I was kinda hopin' for a description
of specific sonic characteristics the Studer lacks, or that it imposes
to the detriment of happylistenage. Is it something you can
characterize, or is this another case of our language not being equipped
to describe what we hear?

That's what happens when you don't use the right Spice...

I don't know, it just didn't sound good. Stuff going in and coming out just
wound up sounding flatter and duller on the other end. The noise floor was not
even, either.

It was a real disappointment because the modular interfaces made it really
very versatile... you can configure it in all kinds of ways for different
applications. The routing and SRC modules looked very handy, and the ability
to deal with a wide variety of interfaces, even older ones like MADI, is
very slick.

It just didn't sound good.

Incidentally, I am talking about the real D19 rack system, and not the
D19 MicValve, which is completely unrelated. The D19 MicValve also sounds
bad, but for different reasons.

Can you compare them to the converters in the V-Eight?
