Hi there,
maybe someone can help me make an important choice:
I use a pair of Musicnet DA/AD24 converters with a RME hammerfall lite pci card for recording. The converters are old, use 44.1 or 48 Khz but the whole thing works fine, and sounds ok, provided I don't do to many conversions. I can trade trade the card and some cash for a RME Fireface.
Should I do this? I'm thinking of getting this fireface, because the quality is supposed to be better. As I do my mixes on my analogue desk, I have to get audio in and out the computer a lot, and experience a slight loss of quality, each time when doing a conversion. Considering this:
Is the higher sample rate of the fireface of importance?
Should I also sell the older converters, as it is not possible to run them at the higher sample rate of the fireface, and it is not pratical as I have to change the sample rate of recordings a lot?
Does anyone have experience with a fireface, or has faced the same choice?
What is your experience when upgrading to a higher sample rate converter?
The latency is supposed to be higher than the Hammerfall, but still low, does someone know this latency is noticable in the Fireface?
Sorry to raise the converter question again, sample rate and all, but I'm at a loss for answers. The fireface is quite expensive, but looks like a solid investment I can use for years, on the other hand, my setup is not perfect, but is solid enough..
thanks
