    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    Apologies I was checking out the m-32 original not the II. I think you just found my solution! Thank you One thing I wasn’t sure about with MOTUs is how AVB works when you’re putting tons of channels through. The manual says the channel outs are limited by DSP, and I was wondering whether that...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    yeah i'd never in a million years want to handle a full blown tape machine. to my ears there are a lot of very good distortion emulations but they all suffer from some degree of unavoidable aliasing (especially when i have a lot of tracks running at 44.1 or 48k) which, when my hyperacusis and...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    that box seems a little long in the tooth--the output count is perfect but I want to take full advantage of today's tech. I'm looking into whether RME does a newer version of this box. thank you!

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    yeah, I'm too worried about the linear range. i agree on all counts with everyone in this thread, but I am very much "pushing" this summing box and I want a good dac that can feed a robust signal and ideally take it back in with equal fidelity even if I'm abusing it. I seek an adc/dac that can...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    ferrofish seems like the perfect balance! I appreciate the feedback. it's grounding. I do believe there's some definite flavor and distortion that I'm chasing in the summing box. of course within the linear band +6db analog or digital will be the same but it's when I'm pushing the track into the...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    Thank you! I've been lurking for years but am learning to be more social lol. I have a home studio and sometimes do mix engineering for small time artists. Recently tried "analog summing" where one converts all their individual tracks into the analog domain, puts it through an analog box that...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    Ha! I definitely get the sense that a lot of the older guys are bigger proponents of the "subjective experience" side of things which opens the door to a lot of bs. I do think however there are differences. I did a couple blind shootouts on youtube and can consistently pick out the really hi end...

    32ch DAC? Best bang for buck in the top tier?

    Hi all, long time lurker but first time poster. Wanted to see among those who do any home audio engineering whether anyone could recommend a 32ch DAC for summing into a prism titan. I've looked through antelope, lynx, prism, apogee, universal, MOTU, ferrofish, crane song--the whole gamut--and it...
