some links to Z-topics. the first two you participated in yourself. i think it is best to go to the manufacturers sites to compare the specs

A8 works fine for me...

Alot better, luna io box do 24/96 * 8ins & 8outs.

Better sound, less noise, more warmth. I love my IOBox. Very low noise floor, it doesn't even appear in PulsarMixer, and you'll won't have all those adat sync issues. No sync issues whatsoever with ZLInk.

as you know DXL, the Luna box has only the proprietary Z-LINK connection on it. The last thing you or anyone else wants is you to be "tricked by creamware's deceptive marketing." So beware. The A16Ultra has Z-LINK and ADAT, so if ya got the cash . . .

adat sync issues will still be there if i connect a luna box via adat?

NO ADAT on Luna box... ZLink prevent sync issues...

Or: if your daddy's got the cash

It's a fantastic converter, but I taped the cable to my comp cos sometimes it falls out

No problem, really, but to reconnect Z-Link (if disconnected) Pulsar OS restart is required.

so there is no ADAT only zlink?

That would be a correct conclusion.

he's asking for information about Luna box, and it takes about 10 replies and several people to get him just to the basic point that there is no ADAT on the Lunabox.
Must have an iq of 20.

hey man i thought there is ADAT on luna2496
because the A16ultra has that
and in the creamware page it doesn't has that much detail as the ultra one. ( no rare pic)
but thanks people!
