[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 132018, member: 162"] Re: Roland O.R.C.H.A Console (M-5000) discussion I'm curious what you're expecting? A THD analysis? All current digital boards sound fine - even the cheap ones - it's just not that hard anymore to make a good sounding board with quality preamps, A/D D/A, and processing. Most of the differences in sound quality are effects and other "desirable distortion". We've gone down this road before, and there just isn't any "there" there. 96K better than 48K? Not necessary- Avid desks are 48K and sound great. The X32 derivatives sound just fine, so do the various A&H options, and I'm sure the Rolands. 5-10 years ago there was more difference, and some would say that certain Yamaha desks had a "sound" to them, but even Yamaha's current line sounds great. Even on the Yamaha side, I have mixed hundreds is shows on 01v96 and M7 and have never felt that the board was the limiting factor in sound quality. [/QUOTE]
