Uhhh Duende.... Is the same darn thing... An emulation of SSL sound (based on C console) that of course is not really an SSL but a collection of plugz(which actually sounds like a vacuum if you ask me...
When you add the analog function of the Mic pres on the onyx coupled with the second computer you get a very close sound to the actual real thing... There is no real degradation of sound what so ever since the ad/da is going straight to the plug in then back to analog then to digital again... think of it kind of like a UA DA/AD convertor on the fly... But as far as degrading the sound, not at all... If anything the sound is much warmer, clearer and full... If you have two computers and the SSL plug ins try it out before you fault the concept... It does sound freaking awesome...
