Hi,
I currently have an audient id14 and i will be buying an eleven rack, because I think it's the best modeller price/quality wise.
Now I'm wondering if I should keep the id 14 when I have the eleven rack because the eleven rack also has a mic pre built in.
I can only think of 2 reasons to keep the audient:
- the ad/da conversion is really noticeably better (I don't know if it is)
- the mic pre-amp of the audient is really noticeably better (again, don't know if this is true)
This leads to 3 options:
- sell the audient, switch completely to the eleven rack
- keep the audient, but connect the eleven rack audio out to the pre-amp of the audient, using the eleven rack only as a modeller
- connect the eleven rack via spdif to the audient, extending the audient's inputs and using both devices' full capabilities
with the third option, there is the difficulty of connecting an optical spdif to an analog spdif, thus needing conversion and I'm not sure
this will work without quality loss, clicks, pops, clock problems etc..
what do you guys think?
ps: just to be clear, it's a hobby setup, aiming to get a decent recording setup for doodles etc
