IF the price is right buy it. D&R makes top notch stuff. And don't let the 16bit stuff scare you. The best studios in the world 3 and 4 years ago used 16 bit state of the art equipment. IF your home or project studio can get those results, your doing pretty darn good.
I'm not able to hear it... No I'm not deaf, the guy selling it lives 100 miles away (150 Km, so that's about right). I'll keep your post in mind! Thanks
