audio interface upgrade
Hi
currently have mbox3 and a fried(out of operation) c600. i was wondering if i should upgrade to something like a Liquid Saphire 56 or find a 8x8 mic pre to use with the mbox3 adat (if that can actually work). i did like the two headphone outs on the c600 though |

Re: audio interface upgrade
None of the Mbox units have ADAT, so that will be very hard to pull off.
What are your needs and your budget?

Re: audio interface upgrade
For those kind of dollars I would look for a used RME ff 800

Re: audio interface upgrade
If you only need four or so simultaneous inputs, consider the MOTU 4pre for $449, uses either FireWire or USB 2.0.

Re: audio interface upgrade
if i were to get something that has adat, could i possibly use an old digi 002 i have as 4 extra pres? or is the digi 002 getting too old to use as something like that.

I wouldn't get an 002 or 003. PT10 will be the last version to support them. If your only need a few I/O with ADAT, check out the RME baby face. But as mentioned MOTU also makes some similar interfaces in the same price range.
