best fx processor under $500 with 24 bit digital I/O

[cat]

I'm searching for the best multi-effects processor under $500 that has 24 bit SPDIF I/O.

The TC Electronics M-One is probably the best all around processor with those features.

The Roland SRV-3030 D is a dual engine reverb with SPDIF and 24-bit and it's selling for less than $300.

Im partial to Lexicon.....

the MPX1 will cost you about 6 bills, but worth it.....

for under $500 you can get the MPX500 and the ver2 upgrade......

I own the Lexicon MPX500, but I forgot it had S/PDIF.....I always use the balanced outs.

did you get the ver2 upgrade, WA?

Nope, didn't get it. I thought about it because it offers 34 additional user programs, but I only use about 10 user presets as it is. Once I tweak a few programs I just keep using those same ones. I love the plate reverbs and that's what I use it for mostly, and the rotary speaker and delays are very good too.

It does offer compression but I have a couple of good compressors now (ART Pro VLA and PreSonus BlueMax) and I'm about to order an RNC soon. I read on the internet that FMR was about to release a new version with balanced I/O. If so, I will be all over it.
