Default Digi 192 Blue Interfaces ... in praise of the analog card

I am appreciative that Avid has continued to support the
Digi 192 Blue interfaces. In my humble opinion, the analog
card on these interfaces is under appreciated. If you calibrate
them properly, and put a good clock in front of them, they're still
one of the best sounding A/D paths in the business.
I particularly like the soft clip .. if you push them hard and
turn on the soft clip, you can tease a lot of color out of them.
I see them on E bay for $300 and I'm scratching my head...
I feel like its the old analog days where twenty years later
people go "gee .. these sound really good, I'll pay a ridiculous
price to get that sound" I have some purple gear too .. and
they're excellent too.

I'm not a collector, but I have three of them in my home studio, and
they're mostly doing send/returns to other analog gear .. but it will
be a sad day when they're not supported.

Please don't end of life support for these boxes .. they're great.
