Can anyone comment on the sound quality of these? How would they compare to something along the lines of the DMP3? Or possibly even an RNP or other preamp a bit higher on the quality scale? I guess I'm just trying to determine where they rank in terms of preamps, and if it would be worth getting a mixer with 4 or 6 pres instead of seperate preamps.
 
I'd get one, and try it out. I have a Spirit Folio F1 which sounds really nice so far.

Once you have 8 channels of good sound, start building a "gold" channel or two, with some top of the line stuff.

But the DMP3 and the Soundcraft Pre's are in the same league, from what I've gathered.
 
I have both a Soundcraft M4 board and a Dmp3. The Dmp3 has more clarity and depth but can sound harsh at times. The soundcraft pres are nice and impart a slight bit of warmth on the signal but lack the overall clarity of the Dmp3. That being said, I love my soundcraft board so far! Good luck.
 
Interesting replies, thanks for the help guys.

I'm on the fence at the moment...I've got a Mackie 1204 right now, so that's all I have to base pres on, but from what I've heard they leave a lot to be desired. It does fine for now, but I guess you don't know what you're missing until you hear it for yourself. The Soundcraft M and E series mixers seem to be very cost effective for what you get.
 
I have an M8. It's definitely a quality board for the dough, pretty quiet and the pres and eq are pretty musical sounding opposed to older mackie budget boards that have a brittle-ish sound...imo.
