Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
Quote:
So... you can pick up HD IO digital cards for under $500 on EBay if you have a slot free and then go from S/PDIF to AES/EBU. Alternately if you have DigiLink capacity, add a 192 IO box which has sample rate conversion on the digital daughter cards as well and you should be able to pick up as a whole 192 I/O with digital (and analog) cards for a few hundred dollars. Or... you really want a new MTRX anyhow right? (sample rate conversion on AES/EBU as well) BTW please let us know what you think of the Ox... what a kitchen sink of features (but doh should have had AES/EBU out for pro-studio use)... but UAD themselves just don't do much AES/EBU on their interfaces (a pet peeve of mine).

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
Oh just in case you have an Omni laying around... they have sample rate conversion on their inputs... including S/PDIF coax and optical.
Omni on EBay... ~$800-$1k? |

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
The OX is fantastic. It's early in the game but it's been exceeding my expectations which have been high for this kind of thing. The only gripe I have at this point is the issue of this thread. Yes, the lack of an AES connection feels like a mistake for this product.

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
I'd say the lack of any other sample rates than 44.1kHz is the biggest mistake IMO.

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
The option for 48, or higher, would be nice.

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
I compared the digital and analog outs and digital has a slight edge. More detail, faster attacks, more bite. The usual.
Some of this detail would be lost in a 44.1-->48 conversion so I'm not sure which is the lesser of two evils -- analog or a SR conversion -- but I'm going to continue to search for a graceful way to get this signal to 48k. |

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
My first thought was, why not run it at 48kHz. I had to download the manual to see for myself. The idea that someone would make a new piece of gear with digital outputs that only work at 44.1kHz is mind-boggling to me. I wonder what the reasoning behind that decision was.

IIRC UAD has sample rate conversion on all their interfaces, and only do AES/EBU on their Apollo 16... so I think they blinded themselves to some mistakes here. |

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
So... anyone know of a small, external, high-quality sample rate convertor?
(but seriously, I do need one) |

Re: Real time SR conversion via spdif - Avid HD IO
None of the Avid interface ideas work? The only high-quality converters I have seen in use are the various RMI models, not cheap.
