The new MOTU uses the ESS Sabre and they talk that up in the marketing. I think ESS is in Antelope? Kinda curious about that. No as far as I have seen Antelope use Brown burr PCM1792 for the monitor outs and AKM (AK4414EQ) for all the other output. I think what makes the difference is the circuitry around the DAC. Antelope use all good quality components and opamps. Much like the other interfaces in its price ranges. RME doesn't use high end opamps or capacitors but you are paying for the best stability in the business. |

Love my 24 channels of (n). Looking for how to expand more.
The BLA stuff is probably really cool. There are so many options now...

The Merging Technologies HAPI MK3 converters sound truly stunning and are priced accordingly!

Bought a Ferrofish Pulse 16. 16 I/O over ADAT up to 96KHz all 16 channels. I use mine with an RME RayDAT and a Crane Song Avocet and HEDD 192. Next to those Crane Song converters the Pulse sounds very good indeed! This is good to know. I think the Ferrofish Pulse is my next purchase. Adding it to my Carbon to use for my monitoring system and some additional preamps. |

I know it brings up some bad memories for many (including myself), but Antelope conversion and clocking is lights out. Incredible bang for the buck.

Apogee got me a little excited to think the desktop 2 channel symphony could be minimalist 2 channels of fancy? Trying to find the specs found some FAQ “The Symphony MK II Special Edition provides superior audio performance and thus is not comparable”… so the desktop and 2x12 is not in the same league as the premium stuff. Also I forget that I often think about Antelope. They do sound very good I’ve done some things on them. A clear sound, I sort of forget about conversion and hear the recording. Killer price per channel. The new MOTU uses the ESS Sabre and they talk that up in the marketing. I think ESS is in Antelope? Kinda curious about that. The old one did too at least my 828es says it on a sticker.. |
