Lots of people quite surprised/horrified . Differing yes - but if you look at the result 80% of people voted for the Behringers - and this is one of the largest communities of sound engineers on the web who would have been listening on their own equipment at home/studio - sure a couple of people who believe they have "golden ears" differed - but most artists are looking to impress 80% of their listeners not 20 % - "better" is a very subjective term..... I have used them myself and they sound fine - I believe game of life use them as well for their WFS setup with no complaints and many engineers now grudgingly admit that Behringer have made something that isn't total crap. From what I have read they basically ripped off one of RME products - copied it capacitor for capacitor and left out the bells and whistles - I haven't used the A/D side though - but I don't need that. Having said that if Focusrite provide a similar priced solution I will snap it up. > I will take a closer look at Andiamos stuff - however each RME madi carries > 64 channels - so anything it connects to has to have at least 64 outs - Why? you can easily bridge two units to get the 64 channels. > Because there's only 3 madi outputs on each RME card - if you can bridge the device that counts as 64 channels in my book and that would be fine.

The focusrite line of rednet to analog converters I find go for ca 200 euros / channel (x256 = ca 51000?) https://www.kmraudio.com/focusrite-rednet-5-interface.php If that doesn't work google "rednet 5" then click on shopping - apparently has 32 outputs (=; -- 07580951119 augustine.leudar.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
