I can say, the Prism Dream ADA-8XR is THE best converter I have used, but it also is configured to work with my Pro Tools HD system.

As for the Orpheus, I only experienced it in another studio, a lot of other factors in the chain, so it isn't a fair comparison and for me, it isn't an option until they find a way for it to interface with Pro Tools HD.

As for the price difference, that's where I get even more confused. I guess I just don't understand the massive price difference between two converters that they claim are of the same quality (or the cheaper one is better) ... and remember, they are STILL selling the Dream series, as far as I know. (It can't just be the fact that it can work with PTHD... I hope not )

Sooo, I have not answered ANY of your questions! Ha! Sorry, I too would like more insight into this great mystery.

I was going to call them directly, perhaps I'll have time Monday.

I think the massive price difference between the two is due to the modularity (for the ADA that increase the price) and a new design (for the Orpheus that maybe lower the price).
And yes they're still selling the Dream because of it's modularity (maybe the best one) but it seem that modularity cost a lot !!!
