[u b k]

i own neither one, but i've used both extensively. imo metric halo is the flattest, most honest sounding converter for the money, and sometimes for twice the money. controlled low end, smooth mids, open top.

every apogee i've ever used has a low mid emphasis and ringing in the 7-8k area. people hear this ringing as sparkle, i hear it as distracting and dishonest. on some sources it adds a nice sheen, but on many sources it has an unwelcome edge to it... strummed acoustic guitars come to mind.

unless you can afford lavry or mytek, i'd go with metric halo.
