SSL XLogic Alpha-Link vs 192HD
I finally requested a quote to upgrade my PT7.4 HD2 with 1x 192I/O to PT11 HDX with 2x 192HD.
Is it worth considering a PT 11 HD Native setup with SSL XLogic Alpha-Link convertors in combination with a SSL Delta Link (MADI)? I am concerned about
The SSL has some obvious advantages like no internal fans for cooling, more I/O count and cheaper. Thanks for your comments! Last edited by SoundReplay; 05-01-2014 at 12:37 PM. Reason: added Latency to concern |

Re: SSL XLogic Alpha-Link vs 192HD
If it's new spending you're talking about, keep in mind that the 192's go EOL in about a year and a half...

Yes, it's new spending. I will replace my blue 192I/O by either the new 192HD or the SSL Alpha Link.
I don't know the date by when the current 192HD will be EOL. Thanks. |

Re: SSL XLogic Alpha-Link vs 192HD
In my history with the Delta link, it likes to drop clock reference from time to time when opening a session
What is this 192HD you speak of? There is the old 192 I/O and the new HD I/O

It is a HD I/O My Delta Link was externally clock, that was the problem Conflict between the House Clock and the HD cards clock would send the Delta Link into a mute state, would have to hard boot the Delta to get it back

Re: SSL XLogic Alpha-Link vs 192HD
My Delta link is externally clock by an iZ ADA II and I've never has any issue's. But if you're looking for a great converter, the SSL AlphaLink SX sounds pretty amazing.

Re: SSL XLogic Alpha-Link vs 192HD
Both options are worth taking.
The new HD I/O has better conversion than the old 192. SSL´s Alpha Link is a fantastic good converter considering the price. If you´re going HDX, there is no point in buying the Delta Link though, just get AVID´s own HD MADI unit and connect it to the SSL Alpha Link. Another option is DAD excelent AX32, but that comes at a price. Although an AVID MADI HD and an SSL Alpha Link price summed will be around the same.

I have still not decided to go HD Native or HDX. If I go for the DAD with 32 channels, it might be more pricey than 2x HD I/O? I am wondering if someone is using PT HD Native or HDX with a DAD convertor already here? Latency and quality is important for my setup. HDX would be the logically choice than (for the latency)... |
