Re: D/A for external mixing on a Mix system...
i have worked with all three i/o's. the 888|24's DO sound better than the others on d/a.
what will make a big difference in your audio will be a reliable clock, like a lucid, or aardvark, or apogee. all 888's and 882's have bad internal clocks. it clears up the jittery criters and improves the image and depth. you could also consider buying an 888|16 (18) and getting a good D/A. that 888 will pass 24 bit on the AES output. the lucid stuff sounds pretty good and is less money than the others. obvioulsy an apogee would sound great, but is more dough.
hope that hepls.
