This desk looks so very well balanced for a small-mid studio! I'm seriously considering getting one within the next 6 months.

I've got a couple of questions, sorry if I sound fairly newb here, but I'm very used to being all inside the computer, I'm now dragging myself out into analogue world after discovering a friend's Moog Voyager and especially his Sherman filterbank. One of the main reasons I'm going with this desk is it's true analogue signal path, but I have to wonder about the AD conversion...

I'm sure it's been mentioned (and if so, please feel free to point me to the page number - such a large thread!), but how does the AD conversion rate with this desk?

For my project studio this desk is perfect. I'm really thinking I should also be looking at an outboard mic preamp for vocals/guitar.
If I were to run an outboard mic preamp like an Avalon VT-737SP or a Universal Audio 6176, what would be the most appropriate way into the desk? Via AD/DA converter (e.g. crane song) into the ZedR16's ADAT, or maybe just straight into a channel?

Sorry if this post was a little off topic, but these are the things I'm considering in direct conjunction with this mixer.

Thanks!
