QUOTE Just got a MiniMe and it absolutely blows the 828 out of the water!! 2 phenomenal mic preamps, limiting, compression (you can even tweak the ratios by opening the top of the box!) famous Apogee A-D conversion (+UV22) 96khz operation, and you can even use different sample rates/bit depths SIMULTANEOUSLY (i.e. 96/24 from SPDIF & AES/EBU, and 44.1/16 via USB). For me, the 828 is now an expensive doorstop. Scott Holli answered: QUOTE mini-me sounds very cool fidelity wise, how much do they go for roughly? I could look on the web site but what kind of outs does it have, also what is the driver system? I think I speak for everyone but please let us know how you get on DigitMus , now and as an ongoing concern. Maybe this warrants a new forum! I for one would love to follow it's progress. Holli xxx Teiwaz answered: QUOTE DigitMus, Great to hear a fellow Apogee user talkin' loud! I LOVE my AD-8000...Apogee rule, man! Maybe we should open a new thread on the subject of the extremely exciting Apogee guys and their products... :D And now for the rest... ;-) Bye. |

Apogee do have high prices. But you do get what you pay for...superior sound quality...that's a major plus.
Apart from Prism (who make even nicer converters - horrendously expensive though) Apogee definitely are the best company out there, and that is more or less all they do - make AD/DA convertors, so they put all their time and resources into it. Dedicated hardware. They don't make software (not that I'm aware of - except for the new ASIO drivers that support their firewire Ambus cards...I'm drooling now!!)  I have actually acquired new clientele since I invested into Apogee convertors. One friend of mine wanted to mix a couple of tracks at my studio and ended up mixing his entire album with me on my system so that he could get that 'unmistakable' Apogee sound...the AD-8000 actually paid for itself within the first 3 weeks of buying it!!!  The mini-me is just wonderful...and worth every penny! It's a bit like (with an i-Book or Titanium laptop) walking about with an Ampex 1/2 inch 30 ips reel to reel with Dolby SR under your arm!!  That is revolutionary in my eyes... Anyway DigitMus...I'm envious 'cause I haven't got a mini-me yet! you're one lucky guy!
