it's not "weak".. its just less compared to ADI-8 and apogee 800.. maybe the others are hyped??
signalchain was:
Source (computer: 24/48khz) ==> RME HDSP ==> ADI-8 / aurora (one or the other) ==> (digital on benchmark DAC..) with and without ==> ADAM S3-a (treated room)
I didnt want to make a big deal about that! This was just my 0.02$.. please try it yourself (mercenary has moneyback garantee

we are not happy, till you are not happy

).
maybe its because they sell it as "mastering converter"?? super flat?? I really dont know.. maybe my ears are wrong.. the room was wrong.. the source..
...
cheers
