Flying Cow Opinions?

[mulderg]

I use the Flying Calf A/D for the AMIII card and it works fine.

I don't think that the Flying "Bovine" stuff is top shelf, compared to Appogee and some others but my experience has been without problems.

You might also consider the mindprint DI-port. I think its about the same as the flying cow box...

with this extra: it features 2 pre-amps, a headphone amp, and the possibilitie to mix the signal from the input with the signal from the d/a converters, thus providing a no-latency monitoring. It also has optical connectors. If you connect it optically, you will not be plagued by groundloops and stuff like that...

The Mindprint device looks cool but its $250 more than the "Cow"...for that kind of money, I'd be tempted to upgrade to the Digi 001 [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

If you don't need the pre's the ART DI/0 might be worth looking at. I haven't heard one yet, but some of the "audiophyle" geeks are talking it up.
Do a search on "ART DI/O". Aphex is also coming out with a new unit this December that might be good. The ART retials @ around $200.00, the Aphex will be around a grand retail. Mindprint looks good, but where can you buy it stateside? By the way, I haven't "herd" [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] the Cow either, but have seen some not so favorable reviews....

i was talking about the DI-port, not the DI-pro. The DI-port is 249 euro's, and that will be equally the same in dollars. IMHO its the perfect addition to the amiii...

Good? Bad? Otherwise?

I'm considering M-Audio's Flying Cow AD/DA interface so as to make use of the second pair of inputs/outputs on my AudiomediaIII card. Anybody using this combo?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I understand. Here in the states most of the stores have the DI-port listed at about $500. I think, at this point, I might just start to look at the Art D/IO - at $150 it looks like a deal...has lots of positive reviews on the web. Thanks though ^_^

I'm about 3 hours from picking up a DI port for $329.00 canadian dollars. Yet, everything is always cheaper in the US ($500?). Whats going on?

Anyway, I look forward to clearer sounding cymbals etc.

The DI-port is german. Maybe that has something to do with it. I bought mine for 249 euro's, wich is roughly the same in dollars...and i live in the netherlands.
