My comments were not based on the obsolescence angle. Down the road when you decide that you really do need more channels of decent A/D, you can sell the 2 channel unit and replace it with something bigger/better and keep your pres. I also am not a fan of stringing together multiple converter boxes, a couple sp/dif channels here, a couple AES channels there, toss in a lightpipe or two...
...the patching and clocking becomes a headache, not to mention dealing with varying latencies from unit to unit....I'll take one good box with umpteen inputs anyday and i'll keep my A/D separate thank you...
