I own the Lynx Aurora 16 converters. I also own the Benchmark DAC1. When I mix, I mix out of the Aurora's DACs into all my gear and Yamaha PM2000 back into the Aurora ADC and monitor the mix through the Benchmark DAC. I know that the Aurora's ADCs are very transparent because the sound of my mixer going directly into my Coleman monitor controller is very similar to my mixer going back into the Aurora ADC and being monitored on the Benchmark DAC going into the Coleman monitor controller. The DAC on the Aurora is okay, but when I really need the tracks to gel together, it's damn near impossible. The most success I've had with the Aurora is on projects I've done with classical music instrumentation where having the individual sounds be really distinct is desirable.
I want to get back into Apogee land. I miss the sound of my old Apogee AD8000. One of you said you sold your 96k Rosetta 800's for $1800 a piece? I want to get out of my Aurora 16 as soon as possible. Is there a cheap 8 ch A/D/A with AES/EBU or firewire interfacing that I could pair with a 96k Rosetta 800? I'd get one of those MOTU boxes, but those only work with Digital Performer, right?
Someone please help me!!!
