Converter Shootout: UA Apollo vs BURL vs Crane Song

[@jeejeeBlaps]

Great comparisons. I'm leaning towards the Burl combo. It definitely has a brighter sound to it than the others.

nice!! checking here in my treated room via Solaris DAC :) I think I liked the BURL adc + CS Solaris combo. Crane Song only chain had the deepest and widest stage and very pronounced highs, though with Burl adc it sounded more punchy and more full-bodied. Divided by my biased / love to Crane Song :)

Thanks for your feedback. The Burl B2 is great. I tend to use it more for tracking than mastering though I noticed some clients really dig the warmth it adds in mastering too. The Solaris DAC is amazing. Am really digging how punchy and detailed Crane Song converters are.

Hi great vidéo & Cool song ! Indeed, I'm a beginner. How do you print the sound that comes out of the DAC so that it is present in a Wav or mp3 file? The signal becomes analog again after the DAC, so do you pass it back through the converters of a sound card or is there some other hardware after the DAC that records the sound from the DAC as a final bounce?

[@servellen_music]

Most sound interfaces have both DAC (the sound coming out of the outputs) and ADC (sound coming into the inputs). So yes you can send the signal out via DAC and then back in via ADC by wiring that way manually or with patch-bay.
