Greetings, all:
It's rare that I've dabbled in things conventional in the context of audience taping, but I'm seeking an uncompromising secondary rig that is portable by traditional means and transportable on aircraft.
Has anyone done a meaningful 2402-96 (AD2K+) + Mytek comparison tape? I live and work in the vicinity of Mytek's HQ and plan to audition some boxes by said manufacturer soon, but want some opinions of you folks. The 192 kHz option on the Mytek is attractive (can the box support simultaneous out via AES and S/PDIF?), but how does the sound of the two boxes compare? I haven't been on top of the research game lately, so if there are more desirable boutique boxes available, I'd be open to suggestion. Same goes for pres. I'm attracted to the Mini-MP, greatly disliked the V3, but am unsure what else is out there.
I'll be running 4011's, 4015's, and 4022's exclusively to varying degrees with this to-be-decided combination, and I love ultra-tight, fast attack low-end punch and highs that stay intact and aren't butchered by stuff that doesn't perform.
No budget. Kindly open to suggestions. Thanks.
