I started with a Bluetube DP and took it back, it just didn't have enough "juice" or sound as clean, either. Also, the MPA Gold has an input impedance adjust so you can change the characteristic of your mic, which is great for me as I've only got the C1 and can give it different flavoring with this knob. I decided against the digital as I don't need the s/pdif out of my pre-amp. I'm going to get the Soundcraft M8 or M12 mixer for my main board, it's got s/pdif out to my M-audio soundcard so I can bypass my AD/DA card converters. |
Yeah, I am trying to figure out if I will ever need the digital outputs on the DMPA - I probably won't, but it would be nice to have them just in case, I suppose.
If I wasn't on such a tight budget, it wouldn't be an issue (I like the idea of saving $100, since I still have a lot of other gear to pick up before recording starts).
Do any of you guys think it's preferrable sound-quality-wise to run into an audio interface like the FF400 from the digital outputs of the DMPA? Or is there no real advantage over the analog outputs?
