I agree, it wouldn't be any/much cheaper than the transporter. The rosetta 200 is ~1800, the blue is ~1400 w/2 channels of d/a, and the io card for the wordclock out is ~300, so it's around the same price.
I need to do a fair amount more research before I can feel confident about deciding on any of this, and conversations in places like this are certainly helpful :) (trolls aside). I'm _definitely_ going to want to hide at least some of my equipment in a closed cabinet (I already am hiding everything but the sb3 and the speakers), since all of the equipment I'm talking about is pretty ugly. For whatever reason, I like the sort of diy feeling of the setup I'm talking about. Whether I really do that or not, we'll see..... highdudgeon;133910 Wrote: > I think the system you site would work just fine...it is, of course, > getting into Transporter territory. > > Too bad the Transporter doens't have a tape or f/x loop -- that would > solve the issue. > > You solution is totally doable, though, and simpler.
