hello,


i'm wondering what kind of alternatives there are to the 1010?

currently using a mackie 1604-VLZ (not Pro) and a delta 44.
mainly the reason for upgrading is the ability to do 8 tracks at once for drums and such.
so my requirements for a sound card are as follows:

- 8 analog inputs
- external, good quality convertors
- at least 2 outputs

i've read some problems with the delta 1010's wordclock and also phase reversal in anything but +4 mode.
what are some alternatives to the 1010?

OR, alternately...

are there any cheap-but-good pre's with built-in D/A convertors? i was looking at the digimax as being ideal, but it's out of my price range. anything else like this that's cheaper, and would be better than the mackie->1010 route?

thanks a lot

Ark 24 doesn't interest me. Q10 looks interesting, however I'm wondering if the pre's are going to be any better than the mackie's.
 
ya

Check out the Echo Layla 24/96....it doesnt have an pre's but the drivers are great and has roughly the same features a delta 1010 has...(8 ins and outs, D/a converter, midi in, out, thru, s/pdif, and so on...draw back is the price, check out ebay; its the best place for cheaper prices.
 
Motu 1224 - check it out on ebay and don't pay over $600.
Best in that range, by far.
