I am trying to start getting a legit setup going here. I currently own a presonus firepod which has a clock and a/d/a all built into it along with a very nice firewire output.
I just purchased several high end preamps and I can't utilize them with my firepod correctly because it only has 2 preamp inputs...
Now I know you can buy outboard a/d/a and a word clock and hook them up to get some amazing sounds. Now my question is what a/d/a (Perferably less than $1500) would be able to convert 8 channels (more if possible!) from my pres and run it into my computer? I'm unfarmiliar with how the digital signal gets routed to the computer (via usb/firewire) from the ada and what other things I would need to get it set up. I'm hoping some of you out there that are farmiliar with all of this stuff can give me some insight.
I am using a PC so that rules out some of ada...
ALso a sample rate of 96k is fine with me. Humans can't really hear sound much above 44.1. Maybe up to 96k impacts the sound (higher order harmonic crap) but I couldn't see why people waste their money on 192k if we can't hear frequencies in ~50khz...
