Yes and no.
Certainly not meant to be argumentative, but rather additive;
We currently use a bunch of 888/24s clocked via Aardsync II, as DACs (only) to mix analog through our console. We recently did a little A/B/C comparison of them with both Cranesong and L2 DACS, and it worked out pretty much as you might imagine.
The Cranesong was just wonderful.
The L2 was slightly thinner and more 2 dimensional.
And the other just plain sucked in comparison.
A real eye opener... Especially when considering *how much better* it sounds to mix through all those Digi DACs into the console, as opposed to just staying in the box.
I'm beginning to see a Radar in my future (as that would be the most cost effective option at this time).
YMMV.
