Recommendations for 8ch AD converter?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi,
I use an 8 channel Panasonic/Ramsa AD called a WZ-AD96, it works well
for me. Maybe you could get your hands on an AKAI DR-16 Pro (the 24bit
model) with Adat cards installed in makes a really great AD and DA
converter.

You can find a used Apogee AD16 for under $1500. Its a great unit with
lightpipe outputs and is ready for 16 channels if you expand.
I own one and love it. I use it with a Digi HD 192 digital I/O through it's
AES output.

You should be able to get a Frontier Tango-24 for well below $1500. A
friend of mine uses one in the exact same set up that you're
describing, and he loves it. He's got his Symetrix SX-202's going into
the Tango24 which sends everything into the 002 via the ADAT lightpipe
connection. When the used Tango-24's show up on eBay they commonly sell
for around $300 to $350.

Thanks, I decided to score it on a buy it now.

Based on the reviews I've read, I'm willing to try it out.

Thanks for the info!!!

Sure I'd be happy to, even though compared to most of the folks in here, I'm
far from any kind of authority on the subject...
