ADDA converters are a big topicl. The sound is the most important thing if you want to make music. I think that you can only judge an ADDA converter when you have heard different price ranges in an AB,C comparison. The listening should take place in an adequate environment with speakers in a price range corresponding to the converter. A ratio of 5/1 to 10/1 is a good value. This means that you should listen to a 10k converter on a 50-100k speaker system. Then you will notice significant differences.
Clocking is also very important for tightness and stereo image of a converter. CraneSong has very tight DA converter right now.
In an AB comparison, all converters will sound different. Especially in mastering it is useful to make these differences nutritious. For example, an aurora has a distinct bass cut. Who likes that can use that.
For my ears are DAD, Prism, Antelope, CraneSong, Merging, Forsell
worth their money.
I had bad experiences with Motu, RME.
good experience with metric halo on mac, mytek
For me, converters are the most important tool next to my ears, the room, and the speakers.
I hope that help you!
