A/D Converters
I m looking to really upgrade the sound of my 002r with a good converter. I have heard that this is a good step. What does everyone recommend? Apogee Rosetta, etc? Does it really make a difference to the sound to get a converter? Still learning thanks.

Re: A/D Converters
I've had my Rosetta for almost 4 years now. I use it with an 001 and it's just great. I use it about 12 hours a day and it hasn't ever been anything other than reliable and well-worth the money. I'm sure they've come down in price now cause they're getting kinda old.
The sound I get using it and my Brent Averill 1272s, into the Rosetta, then lightpiped into my computer can't be beat. Lastly I use a Benchmark D/A converter and Mackie HR 624 monitors. I use it and love it. |

Re: A/D Converters
You should also look into the RME ad/da ADI-2. I just got it and it made the world of difference and it's absolutely sounds amazing.
http://www.rme-audio.com/english/adi/adi2.htm By the way, I'd stack it up next to a Rosetta anyday and only a third of the price. |

Re: A/D Converters
I seem to like what outside a>d has to offer. i agree that alot of the converters out there will improve your sound.
i also wanted to pose a question... Quote:
can you also do this on the rme?

Re: A/D Converters
The product known as the "Apogee Rosetta" was a two channel A/D converter.
The Rosetta 200 is two A/D and two D/A, the Rosetta 800 is eight A/D and eight D/A. I've been using a Rosetta 800 for a year now and it's good. I worked with a Benchmark D/A for a while and find that it's nicer than the D/A on the Rosetta 800, though.

Re: A/D Converters
so what does the audio chain look like with a rosetta?
assume you are doing vocals or an acoustic. Gear: Mic Mic-pre (analog, i.e. Avalon 737 UA 6176) Rosetta 200 DIGI002r What order is it. Do you use all analong I/O's? do you use any optical I/O's? |

To hear just how good the sound is, you also need a great D/A converter and good monitors. The whole chain is necessry and all equally important, starting with the mic, and instruments. |

Re: A/D Converters
2 things
1- you bypass the DIGI002r altogether? How does PTLE recognize it? 2-can you not use the rosetta 200 for the D/A, can't it do both A/D & D/A, or do you need two separate ones? |

I don't know if I'd go 8-channels again, maybe just two. I really like alot of the sounds I got with the A/D in my octopre, even after hearing them through quality D/A.
