"Let's talk about A/D converter.........."

[Damon]

Hello.......
At this momment I have my mind set for Analog to Digital converter; which I supposed is the most important step & device that "Sets" the quality of our recording prior to the signals that goes in!!
My mind is aiming for 2 channels AD 2496 from LUCID; or APOGEE PSX100 which I supposed more expensive.....
Can anybody with more deep knowledge tell me something to discuss as well to consider....!???
thanks

I'm not sure I understand your qestion.

Do you want info as " How can I tell if it's a good converter " ?

As for Apogee - They make excellent stuff.

If it never got any better than what Apogee is doing now (and it will), I'll still always be happy!

Im looking into the Apogee Rossetta which is only AD not DA but I have seen it for $1100 and it uses the same converters as the PSX100 which is to say thats as good as it gets right now. Check out their site http://www.apogeedigital.com

The Rosetta will be mine someday. Hopefully by the end of the year.

So .......Apogee ROSETTA is better than any other 2 channels A>D such as 2496 from LUCID & PSX-100 from APOGEE !!?.

I think I just prefer Apogee over anything else because I've heard some damn good results from their converters. Plus, their UV22 dithering process is one one the best in the world. If you need all the functions of the PSX-100, then it's worth the extra money. Personally, the Rosetta is exactly what I need for my applications.
