First musical test recorded as fair as possible.

I use the output of a raw multiband recording using a switcher into the different ADCs which are recording at the same time.

You can hear which ADC is running when.

Units used:
1. PCM4222EVM
2. Lavry Gold
3.Fireface (just for fun)

Here's the test.

My opinion: I think the PCM and Lavry are really close. It's just a matter of taste what to chose. I think the PCM has a bit more DNR and is a little more precise and colder (due to the faster op-amp). The Lavry sounds a bit warmer, but also less precise.
