OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
About 12 years!

What is so special that you like most and least?
The higher the quality of sound! On a warm and incredibly accurate! while maintaining its 20 Bits/48Khz are exceeded .. (it is better to work 20bits/48Khz very good when 24bits/96Khz second class ..). The sound is very warm (almost analog) with very good stereo dynamics and openness exemplary precision surgical care only if your source was not good it will do no miracle. Note also a total lack of breath and autrre unwanted noise (APOGEE some of the same generation are a bit more "noisy" ..)
The least .. Absolutely NOTHING!

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes of Apogee

How would you rate the quality / price?
At that time the price / quality ratio was very good (about € 4000). Remember that it is very popular in that time and do not really easy to find.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
A thousand times yes! He is still very often! If not daily!
It is still used in a lot of professional studios across the Atlantic for its particular qualities audios .. If you ever come across is especially beautiful converter try! You will see, you can not do without!
