Maybe someone else has heard a downside to a/d/a cycling. I've been so pleased with the outcome from adding OTB analog conditioning, I never noticed it.
Exactly. I don't get why people have this notion that once the audio is captured its some pristine creature that can't bear to touch a D/A converter. Tape "degrades" sound so much more than even modern pro-sumer converters and yet no one thinks about that being some sort of major hurdle.

My ears DO NOT hear any big problems going back out through converters.

My ears DO hear a major improvement when mixing on an analog console. That's all I need to know.
