I love my Prism ADA8XR, when you get to the level of the converters you are talking about, it eventually comes down to personal preference. I demo-ed a bunch of converters when I bought the Prism. Loved the DAD as well but found a deal on the prism and it works great with Protools too. I am pretty sure the AD2 and DA2 are better sounding than the 8xr but alot more money.... and less flexiblitly, I use my 8xr for tracking, mixing inserts and mix bus/mastering analog return, it does it all with fantastic results. Bottom line; try them out before you buy.
