I think most would agree that you could make some amazing recordings with any of these converters. Yeah they are not Prism or Weiss, but they still are pretty good converters. If your using the same clock for all converters, there will be different personality’s heard with each of them. Therefore you will most likely mix them differently, all striving to get a similar sound in all mixes. I know with the Mytek, you may use less EQ in the top end compared to the Apogee for instance. So the question is, is there enough of a quality difference between them, that would warrant you to go with one over the other. Yeah I know, for classical, brand M is better, for rock n roll, brand A is better. But with using Great River, Manley and Cranesong Eq’s to get your sound, do you feel a particular converter is above the other?
