hello everyone,
im thinking of a firebox, and have heard many good things about the little art dio..i was wondering if this will be night and day going into the firebox's line ins with a preamp and somehow help things sound good, or..err..not. i know many VS users have benefited a lot from the DIO going digi in, and one would think that these little firewire boxes don't have better conversion than VS siabs, right? then again, maybe they do..i really dunno.
if the DIO aint worth it in light of the conversion ill find on the firewire box, ill just keep the 100 bucks...if not, ill get it, cause this setup will have to be around for a while, so might as well have it sound good...plus many ppl say it's something cool to have around, and it'll probably be worth some cash in a few years as it's discontinued now and all...anyway, but if its totally not worth it, i can use the 100 bucks.
any views on this?
thanks in advance.
ps. if, by any chance, any of you have tried both Presonus and Edirol stuff, idd be very interested in some comparisons as well...strictly converter wise, all the pres will be outboard (dmp3 and electro harmonix pre). price wise it's almost the same, but nothing beats hands on experience with the products (wich i dont have ).
