The duende is perfect for the money you pay it. And it is very good for a DAW. But as you say, the DAW and algorythms aren't the only thing. You need good Mic Pres, good converters end good capabilities of your own too of course. Nevertheless, one day, I'll buy a duality console. I just feel the digital domain isn't ready yet to take over the analogue domain, sonically. Digital has the automation advantage, unfortunately, analogue does not.

I'm sure chris@ssl knows better, maybe I was mistaking. Are you sure tho he didn't mean they measured and compared XL9000 circuits to model the C200?

I agree on the analogue. There's a reason why SSL still makes analogue desks, high end analogue desks simply are better for music production

Digital consoles OTOH are perfect for broadcast for example.
