Scope card is gone. A16Ultra to go...

No biggie, I can still find use of the CW ULTRA for a few extra channels of less important audio tracks...

Looks like I will have to keep the Scope anyway as no one wants it.

Lavry and Apogee? C'mon you never heard of these converters? They are like Ferari in converters.

I lowered the price to 1490€ for both. Send me an email if interested.

If interested please send me an email to tat.purusha[at]gmail[dot]com

I have some problems with answering in PMs.

FS is CREAMWARE A16ULTRA 16 x 24-bit / 96 kHz AD/DA converters

No really, it's fine... I was just ghost hunting with this idea

Better to use this money on something else like more DIY parts for my new Pultec MEQ5.

It's cool man

I feel better again

Nah, here we go

Anyway, I quit with the idea. Too much problems for a little improvement

Or 4 cables for all 16 ins AND outs.

Now you got me really confused

My Scope card has only 2 optical and 2 Z connections availble. How can I use 4 optical cables at the same time than?

I need to have a stereo IN and 16 OUT at the same time for my OTB mix.

Sorry, I just got more confused now....

When using external clock I need to use 2 optical cables to have full A16U connected to the Scope, right?
I work anyway in 44.1 so it's fine.

So I have to use the light pipe between the Scope and A16U and ditch the Z link cables?

Is this bad in any way?

Thanks Gary, got the full picture now. Will go for it and let you know if I got any better results

Thanks Gary. I understand your point that it's not worth it. But have you done any A/B tests with external clocking the CW so far?

Can someone explain technically why would clocking the Scope card together with clocking the A16Ultra be a better improvement?

Why is clocking the A16Ultra not enough?

I need to justify the 200€ investment

Yes, 180€... so there is a difference in sound by clocking the scope along the A16U?
How is that, isn't the scope in sync with A16U anyway?

What is the cost for the sync plate?

I was thinking to maybe add the ADI RME 2 for overdubs and external clock for the OTB mixing.

How can I clock the Scope and A16 at the same time? Possible without any extra cards?

I am using really hi-end preamps. It's all DIY stuff but hey, I am really good at it.
I have Neve and API DIY preamps ...

Well my production is fairly good. But for sure you can't compare the A16Ultra to Apogee... and we noticed that there is not the same wideness and clarity as in the super hi-end converters... so my friend suggested to get me an external clock like Aardsync or Big Ben to make it a little better.
