Is there a PC equivalent to the 2882? I'm a die hard windoze guy looking to downsize my rig. I hear wonderful things about the MH as to sound quality.

Do the conversters compare to say Aurora??

Thanks in advance

i've never heard any complaints about the converters. i think they're regarded as fairly high-end within the community.

when i was shopping, it was either the mac route with MH, or PC with RME.

if you need 8 mic amps, you could supplement a FF800 with a 4 ch. solution, such as DAV BG-2, or a Sytek.

You would end up with a better selection of mic pre's than the stock 2882's got.

MH ULN-2 is a different story, but it seems you're looking for 8ch, no?

unfortunately, you still won't have the onboard DSP, for which the MH stuff is so well known.

Replaced my Aurora with an SK48 never looked back. The TC is better sounding, with huge DSP on board. The best ergonomic mixer in any interface bar none.

Thanks, the sk48 looks very intriguing. I'm luggin around a Ramsa DA-7 right now. It sounds quite good really and has been a work horse, but I need to down size go to a laptop, etc.

Reading up on the sk48. has anyone compared the conversion to the RME FF800? While I''m a huge fan of their interfaces, (been running a hammerfall for years with no issues) the converters...not so much.
