They both sound nice in their own ways. I would have liked to hear an Apogee AD16x self clocked compared to the Burl as oppposed to the Rosetta (not as "analog" as the ADx) clocked to the Burl. I think they might have been closer. I Think the Burl sounds great though, for sure a nice tool for more analog like recording. I agree with a previous poster that ALL converters impart a sound, "choose your poison" is exactly the words I have used. So have more than one converter just like you do pres, use the fat one for the the drums, use the flat one for the strings etc.....

UBK: any chance of hearing a 2 track mix through the Burl and then through an AD16X SELF CLOCKED? Then you are really comparing apogee's best with the burl. Thanks for the post. Sounds great.
