Upgrade Mackie MR8 to Focals cms65 OR Upgrade echo audiofire 8 D/A to Mytek D/A
Hey Guys,
I am torn between either better monitors or better DA converter. I know they are both equally important but i can only afford one for now.
Do you guys think my mackies are good enough and should just upgrade my audiofire 8's DA OR is my DA good enough and should just get the focals???

PLEASE HELP!!!...

Without the monitors you will hear NO difference in the converters. They really should be upgraded last. Minimal sound differences- nearly undetectable.

Makes sense but just thought the mr8 was good enough for that.

The Focal CMS 65 are great monitors.
