Hi there,
I have much music stored in uncompressed format on my computer. I woudl like to buy an interface that takes this digital data and converts it the best way to analog and then hooks up to my (state of the art) amp. I only need it for playback and not recording and obviously I only need 2 channels. I want the best, most pristine sounding device that gives me the best D/A conversion that technology currently has to offer. What device should I get? I was looking at the Edirol UA-1EX but they don't even list the signal to noise ratio or dynamic range. I have spent much time and I find it very hard to find reviews of audio interfaces of such sort. I have a laptop so only Firewire or USB2 are an option. Any suggestions are very, very much appreciated. Thank you. |

Apogee and RME.
RME Fireface, is the best in your price. Presonus is good too. Ce message a été modifié par Jsegura - dim. 16 juil. 2006, 11:12. |

Depends of your budget I'd say…
By upping price: RME/Presonus/some high end MOTU, Apogee, then there's less known pro converters. Bang/bucks wise, RME certainly. in the "reasonable range". -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Lepetit... You know I love RME, Sound On Sound and Oh yeah, Amptown.
So, are you up and running again? How's your Computer performing? Later |
