Convertors will help. The sound stage will be slightly tighter, louder, and more well defined on a high end convertor compared to a prosumer. I own a 6176 and if you want a nice R&B shine this aint it (atleast not stock anyways). I suggest you buy a pre like an aurora or an adl-600. Most importantly, besides which ever equipment you buy, becoming an expert on what you already own is key! You have to be able to utilize the tools you already own. Its about the man working the equipment that will get you the sound you'r after.

thanks for the reply.
you said you worked with the 6176, what kind of sound are you getting from it?
Would you suggest for me to stick with the converters on the RME for now, or buy an external one?

I think you may be surprised how much better you can do vs that Eureka. It's an inexpensive box for sure, but I never heard anything special coming out of one. I'm not slagging off on Presonus, but the Eureka isn't a stand out piece.

Black Lion Audio Sparrow AD converters and a pair of preamps would be my focus. Unless you're prepared to commit to a sound while tracking with a channel strip (seems as though you are tracking yourself) focus on 2 great preamps and 2 great converters.

I'm very close to getting this strip. I've heard a lot of good things about it, especially for the value.

Any opinions? I do mostly rock and pop.
