the ad and da stage need to be " calibrated " right . the operating levels of the units need to match each other . even when set up right , theres gear around that makes the signal louder or lower
usually adda conversion takes xtra time . only system ive heard that was able to compensate it was digis HD using their converters .
cheap converters ( prolly all converters , just the amount differs ) degenerade the sound . what you put in will not come out .
well , anyway ... hardware and itb is a cool thing . better converters make your outboard sound better of course . and its less noisy . only problem as usual ...
they are hell xpensive
