Good 8 channel D/A only!

cubehead · 18th September 2011

I wish Lynx or Mytek or someone would make a decent quality 8 channel D/A converter. I have 24 channels of Aurora which are amazing but I really don't need any more A/D I would love just 8 extra D/A so I can send some Plug FX out while mixing. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

Have you considered a Lavry Blue with 4 X M.DA824 2 channel D/A converters?

yeah that would be great but a little too pricey. I'm just looking for decent extra outs for plug in delays and such.

Cranesong hands down.

Mytek 8x96 DAC, still kinda pricey though (and only 96k if that's a problem) when have seen them for sale, so maybe still better off just trading in the Aurora 8 towards a 16.

Apogee Da16x, yes it's 16 out but if don't need 24 in you could sell the Aurora 8 and end up with 16in/32out.

Thanks for the advice all. I'm probably just going to wait and get another Aurora 16 and sell the 8. I really wish lynx would just make an 8 channel D/A. Does anyone else think that would be amazingly handy?

Handy? Yes. Cost effective? No. Which is probably why you won't see one anytime soon

I had the same question a little while ago. Check out the D/A mods at blacklionaudio.com.
