please help me learn more about a/d d/a

hello forum!

i would like to start researching my options for better a/d conversion (and i assume d/a would be helpful). right now i'm just running everything through my digi 002, no converters no clock. so that's enough of a reason, right? it looks like most go 2, 8, and 16 channels... i'd be look at 8 because it would be nice to get a full set of drums converted.

can anyone describe what better converters do? (naturally they make it sound "better" ...but how are different brand/models going differ?)

any suggestions?

what are you guys using?

thank you soooo much.

i use an apogee rosetta 800 w/ my digi002r. i like its converters much better than the stock converters. i also have a benchmark dac-1 hanging off the s/pdif output of the 002r.

yea that's one peice i was looking at... the rossetta 800. but doesnt the rossetta do a/d and d/a ? i guess not, and that's why you have the 2 channel d/a of the benchmark, for playback. yes?

anyone else?

the rosetta800 has 8 channels each way, yes. i use those for hardware inserts now, and eventually i'll use its d/a for external summing. the 2 d/a channels on the benchmark are for monitoring.
