None of those are worth a thing if they don't have a BLA mod done.

In the premier league you also have IZ ADA which is nothing but stellar

and Forssell converters as well , the most transparent box on the planet and yes Burl audio as well in the MOJO camp

All theses converters are sooo good

I am a huge fan of IZ Corp

Some people say that radar gets a MOJO sound with a certain ( elegant ) color , maybe , but I have always found that the Radar 's sound is very transparent

one day , I did not pay attention to my guitarist and i let the record process going on and I recorded on the track at the end of his track what he said to me : " Could you increase my headphones volume please "

He was recording his ac guitar's track behind me ( in my former home studio )

So I increased the level of his headphones and to make a long story short : he said me the same words : " could you increase my headpho,es volume " 4 times !!!

I told him that normally it was good enough right now !!

He told me : " I never told you that again !!! "

In fact it was the end of the track " repeating " his words as I had recorded it !! INCREDIBLE Story !! trapped by my Radar's playback

From that day , I have realized that Radar was tranparent too !! ( with a little fine color added difficult to describe it actually )

Ok i lesson all your stories, mine is this:

I Lesson some of those and worked with some of those gear you mention, what i can say is nothing compares with an Antelope Audio with an Atomic Clock 10M in all Aspects!!!

These gear is simply amazing, Sense of Depth and image is outstanding ...

The conversion is far better of what i´ve know until now!!!

Thank you ALL!!!

i forgot to tell this, all this was tested in a super coolll monitors the new Focal SM9, Simply amazing!!!

The Eclipse provides both AD & DA, and is certainly alot less expensive than going Lavry Gold AD & DA, or Prism Dream AD & DA.

Still i have yet to hear the Eclipse against our Lavry Gold AD demo unit, and am very much looking forward to doing this soon. When your dealing with converters that are as expensive as these, you really want to be able to hear them first.

The 10M i did get to hear recently and it deffinately makes a nice but subtle difference, seemed to open up the low end detail a bit more. This was A/B'ing against the crystal clock in the Trinity which is the same as in the Eclipse.

The Eclipse can accept the 10M input directly without the Trinity clock.

And one or two of these-

[digitrax]

Yep, loves me them RADAR convertaz. Burl are also great. Plus I gotta put in a plug for Ed Meitner's (EMM Labs) stuff - never gets enough love on GS, but it's right up there with the best of 'em.

I can't justify spending more, I tend to be cheap and creative. The destination has meters so I don't need those nor a nice box with a shiny ribbon on top.

What is the clock?

I received my Ross Martin A/D over the weekend. Looks awesome!! Like some NASA piece of a shuttle or something. Sounds incredible and is now clocking my Aurora, which, IMO now sounds a little smoother as well. It has a reset button on it that you have to hit if you make a setting change. I'd never seen this on another converter, so it kinda pissed me off before I read the instructions and found it kinda weird. The sound was kinda dark and dull prior to, so you can imagine the kind of words coming out of my mouth before I figured this out - lol. In any case, it's a fabulous converter. I've already noticed I can push EQ further on the top end without getting harsh. Low end is more firm and overall it just sounds more refined and classy. I can't wait to stack tracks and see how sound sources that were captured with it take to plugins.

[nickelironsteel]

my philosophy is one ADDA to rule them all set to internal clocking.

I agree, and this is how I had my system for quite some time, however, I wanted to use my spdif input to allow more inputs, so it was either the Aurora clock or the Ross Martin clock. I'm liking the Ross Martin.

I am going to go out on a limb here but favourite is this one:


As long as "high quality" is silkscreened on the case that is how you tell it's a good one

Don't forget to switch the PSU too

iZ corp ADA or Radar Nyquist is/are the best, better than Prism ADA coldness anyway. iZ Ada clocked with Trinity/10M combo sounds even a little bit better. Prism ADA clocked from the same combo sounds WAY better but still not as good as the iZ stuff. iZ sounds like good transparent analog gear. All the other contenders sound like PCM.

I don't know if the word cheap is what I would call it.Since you have the knowledge of the components and what they are doing,you are able to mod a rig and save your self money.
