The question is do we need warmth or neutral, high resolution transparence in converters. Sometimes I prefer Apogee due to its slightly colored character, but if money no object, I would always pick 16+ channels of Lavry Gold that is neutral and clean (well 50k is just about too much  ). |
Exactly my feeling. A converter is just a device to convert exactly the signal from analogue to digital domain ... a kind of mirror. The more exact and faithful it sounds, the better the converter is (and usually also more expensive). For colouring/sweetening etc., there are plenty of dedicated devices ...

I am sure you would get some nice discount for 16+ channels
