I'm confused...
Converters? In Pro Tools? Outdated? Are you perhaps referring to the mix bus and the downsampling quality?
'Cause the A/D/A is the hardware. And a 192 I/O is in a different league than an MBox 2. To paint all the Digi stuff with the same brush would be incorrect at best.
And ya know...we can always buy better converters!
My point is, you must be referring to something in the software. Unless I'm uninformed, "converter" would not be the best way to describe what's going on in the software.
And if you ARE referring to what's in the software, I say hogwash! I've never subscribed to the opinion that different DAW's have identifiable audio differences. Your hardware will invariably have more to do with the final product than the software, IMHO.
What you should be searching for is ease of use (especially if you're new to this), intuitive workflow and features that would be useful in your situation.
Each DAW is essentially doing the same thing. What makes a person choose one medium over another is highly dependent on what kinds of features the user is looking for...
I believe Adobe has a downloadable demo on their website. Perhaps when the Mac version is released, you can download it and check it out for yourself. I highly encourage you to check out all available software and see what works for you.

pardon the rant!
I use Pro Tools and I approved this message.
