I have spent the past few weeks looking at every affordable good quality AD/da converter. I after much reading of reviews and forums postings I have lowered it down to these "afforidable options" (around $1500 ) and wondered how they all stacked up in terms of conversion quality.

I also looked at the lynx aurora but it looks like you have you have to have aes16 to make it work with a mac and buy additional i/o cables. (correct me if i'm wrong)
Also if you have any da/ad conveter that you think i should consider adding to the list your opion would be welcome.
Thanks
