Personally I can't say I notice this.
I have a Samson C-control as an alternative. I have not done a comparison.
My interface is a Focusrite Liquide Saffire 56.
The signal is analog out of LS6 into the 8240.
What is the pros opinions. Would the quality be better using the Samson?

I know this is a "my opinion" question with no right/wrong.
It's not really bad and it's very comprehensive. I had a Samson C-Control. It's a LOT better than that assuming your gain structure is properly set up.

However, I was using PMC TwoTwo6s... I switched over to ATC SCM25As recently and suddenly noticed there was hiss from the C24 outputs. Hit the mute button on the C24 and it goes. Maybe that's testament to how good the ATCs are though!!!

That said, if you're can't do great mixes on the C24 it's not the C24's fault. If I had kept my C24 I'd have probably have got a Cranesong Avocet or something similar.
