[QUOTE="Andy Leviss, post: 63584, member: 216"] Re: USB D/A Converter for Home Monitors Hey Robert, It's been mentioned here in passing over the last painfully long year or so of development both here and at PSW, but my two-man company, Duck's Echo Sound, makes--and is finally shipping--the BlackDog DI stereo USB interface. Shipping got pushed back a lot over the last year while we refined it, but I do have the first production run on hand, and can ship immediately following the holiday if you're interested. It's $140, class-compliant (in other words, no drivers to install), with a pair of custom-wound Edcor output transformers, XLR outputs, mono-sum switch, and switchable audio ground. Mac Kerr has one of the first two units we shipped, and I don't know if he haunts these parts at all, but Jim van Bergen took a prototype for a spin for a while, and bought the other of the first pair (I'd have to check records to see who between JvB and Mac got #1 vs #2, LOL, it's been a little while!) Because it's class-compliant audio, it's limited to 24/48, which isn't usually an issue for live sound use, but I do want to mention it in case it's a concern for monitoring. But if you're looking at the Peavey, then this is comparable, just a lot better sounding, a lot more compact, and a lot more durable! It's about half the size of the Peavey box, and a lot sturdier, with a stainless steel enclosure, built to take a beating. We don't have it on our website yet, as we're a couple weeks away from launching a new retail website, but if you PM or e-mail me, I will send you a PayPal link to order it. Feel free to ask any other questions you've got, here or private, and I'll answer ASAP. Best, Andy [/QUOTE]
