Rosetta 200 for monitoring and sending to Masterlink to record my mix.
My questions:
Instead of getting the ADx and DAx, should i get 2 Rosetta 800 ?? I've heard some people say the ADx and DAx sound 'better' than the Rosetta... Is that true ??
In both these set ups, do i 'need' a Big Ben ?? Will it make any differences whatsoever ??
Sorry, i've only been using my PSX 100 so far so i don't have much experience with converters. However i am not interested in other converter brands. I've always liked the Apogees.
Thanks for your help !! |
Personally the AD/DA-16x sounds better due to the superior clock and analog stage. Since you are getting 16 channels I say go for the AD/DA-16x. With this setup I to pass on the Big Ben, the AD/DA-16x already has the Big Ben clock.
If you were to get a Rosetta 800 I would suggest checking out a Big Ben. A lot of people debate whether a Big Ben will improve a Rosetta 800. So I suggest listening to it yourself.
