AD/DA and Monitor Controllers

[Babaluma]

You should definitely look into a Crookwood monitor controller too. I have one with ADC and 2 x DAC, headphone amp, monitor controller, VU meter etc., and it is extremely flexible. No SPIDF though, all AES (I use mine with an RME HDSPe AES). This is the most basic model:

C1-4AS-4XP Stereo Monitor Controller

But you can also ask Crispin for any custom options you need.

Avocet has a selectable first digital input. You can switch from AES to spdif. Then you have three analogue inputs on avocet. If you need more inputs you cannot use the ff800.

+1 on the Crookwood. Crispin is a genius and will build you something to suit your needs (so you only pay for what you need now) that can be expanded later, if things change. Very good value next to the Avocet, although those are also lovely bits of kit.

I hope you'll consider our Antelope Eclipse 384 for these duties, as well. :-)

We're getting some amazing reactions and it's gaining in popularity each week.

Our concept was to combine the converter together with the monitor controller in a way that avoids multiple input/output stages, which can and will degrade the sound. I've found even sending a signal digitally via AES from the computer has it's costs.

the Avocet contains no A to D...only D to A. Crookwood makes some amazing products...unfortunately barely available in the US. Where are you located?
