The Logic Off Topic list

Hi Murray!
I personally chose the Fostex VC-8. It is 20 bit, up to 96 kHz. You can look
up further Spec at
http://www.fostex.co.jp/int/pages/products/access/cop2.htm.
The quality of these converters is good enough for me. It has 8 I/O in Cinch
(asymetrical), Adat I/O (lightpipe) and a Wordclock in. I bought them in
Germany for 599 DM (ca. 194\ufffd, 309$). You also get symmetrical converts but
they are nearly the double price, and I personnally do not have any cables
exceding 5 meters and I have no problems with hum etc. My testing till now
just says: What a great card and that the converters are also very good,
looking at the price (IMO, they are not worse than those of the Motu 2408,
and better than those of the Terratec EWS 88 MT)
Hope this helps,
Gilles
