 Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:50 pm Post subject: Kronos USB Audio or S/PDIF to Ensemble? |
 |
|
I was wondering about the USB audio from Kronos to computer, as opposed to Kronos S/PDIF Optical to my Ensemble. What would be better?
If using the USB, I can, as previously posted make an aggregate device and still use the Ensemble for vocal tracks.
But if there is an advantage to using S/PDIF, I'd rather go this route for vocal tracks and Kronos via Ensemble. All help appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the reply SIna, I know the Kronos DAC is good, but wether it's better than the Ensemble, I don't think so?

But if you're using an SSL, Toft, TL Audio, or Allen & Heath, or if you're using any high-end stereo source equivalent of those mixers, use them. |
This would be good, but then I cannot monitor anything else I have going on in my DAW.
No mixer, I do all my mixing in DAW..

USB and S/PDIF are both digital and so should sound exactly the same. So I think the choice would then depend only on whether you can figure out a way to use the Kronos USB together with the Ensemble at the same time.
In my case, I'm on a PC and so cannot use both at the same time. If I want to connect digitally, I'm expecting to run S/PDIF into my audio interface.
