Re: Digi 192 Blue Interfaces ... in praise of the analog card
I wish I could agree about the sound of the 192 (because I'd buy 4 of them at today's prices just to get the extra IOs) but I've never found them to be top-notch. Even when first released, the competitors (Apogee) had a strong advantage. The 192 got the job done, because that's what we had available to us then. Upgrading the clock does help (we put a Big Ben in front and the converters got better). They have their limits, however. I think most interfaces today, even the inexpensive ones, would prove themselves as better sounding. Not to throw fire on this topic, but I'd put some time into other options, at least as an audition. You might be surprised by what you hear.
