I'm not saying that this is the case, but I sure hope this thread doesn't turn from the original question asked, or even into a bashing of a certain brand. Sometimes, it seems like folks discount equipment they've not even tried because it's fashionable to do so.

The Eureka, in my opinion, is a good little channel strip. I agree with the opinion above about getting the AD card and adding another pre for the other channel. Maybe Safesound or some tube channel might be a nice contrast there.

Personally, I don't use the eq or comp part of the Eureka, as I like to have options for that later -- I just like that I'm sending a reasonably clean digital signal into my DAW from this unit. Since I like to tinker a little, I did do a search for mods for the Eureka and am quite happy with the results. But, then, I experiment with most of my pres that way.

Good luck in your search.

Goob.
