Converters are crap without properly designed analog paths. I just recently saw a talk with Tony Andrews from Funktion One (audio engineering guru, if there ever where such a thing) and the Red Bull Academy thing (via web, wash´t there myself)... and he spoke for quite a while about converters. I was shocked when he said that one of the best sounding converters he's ever heard in his life was either a little DJ audio interface by either NI or Serato or another, I am not sure. Basically, he put a 150€ interface far above some dedicated mastering units.

Let me see if I can find it...

What about the pre-amps? I am surprised they're aren't being discussed at all!!

What's the pedigree on them? (maybe I missed it, but found no mention)

PS: Found it ! The only thing I hate about Vimeo is you can't f*****g forward without being buffered.

Wow. Someone should teach these experts about proper gain staging. Stuck on a macbook it is just frustratingly painful to try and deuce any information from that interview. It's like my wife whispering to me from the other room. lol
