OK, I'm thinking about taking the plunge into this Creamware
stuff - it sounds really interesting to me, HOWEVER...
a.) The cards themselves don't come with enough AD/DA i/o's
to do a full session, you have to use another solution, such as
their A16Ultra 16-channel convertor box. While this, plus one
of their cards, remarkably gives you that which I was saying
someone really needed to come up with (in another thread last
week), the problem therein is...
b.) ...I've seen nothing good written about this A16Ultra
convertor box - the best that anyone seems to be able to say
about it is something along the lines of: "Some describe
the sound as kind of dark, and it's a little noisier than the
RME's". Well, this doesn't cut it, IMO; I really like the
RME's, they're clean to the point of pristine & certainly
not "dark".
c.) Now, the cards DO each have 2 lightpipe in's... so I could
use the RME's in stand-alone mode, I THINK - has anyone tried
using the Multifaces in stand-alone mode? Since the Multifaces
ARE my interfaces, I don't have any other way of getting the
signal into the computer in order to try them in stand-alone
mode (I guess I could grab a cheapie card that had a lightpipe
input in order to demo this, but if anyone knows if this would
work already, it would be better than buying a card, loading
new drivers for it, yada, yada, yada).
d.) Does anyone know of a high-quality AD/DA box that has 16
inputs & 2 or more lightpipe outs? I've looked around quite a
bit over the last couple of days & haven't been able to locate
anything like this.
