MYTEK 8X96 DAC (USED)

Currently used at 240V but will convert to 120V for new owner

They provide very high performance 24 bit 96 kHz conversion comparable to the most expensive mastering converters ( DR=120 dB, audiophile signal path). These units can be used as stand-alone devices for variety of studio applications such as 5.1 DVD mastering, multitrack recording and whenever high quality conversion is required.

Users choose Mytek 8X96 converters primarily for their outstanding sound quality. The sound of Mytek converters can be described as transparent. We design our converters to be as faithful to the signal as possible, rather than the philosophy of some other manufacturers who offer “analog” or “tube” sounding converters. Mytek converters are closest to a straight wire, which is especially evident when used at full 24/96 resolution our tests have shown that 90% of listeners cannot hear the converters’ impact on the sound at all.

Thanks to the wide choice of daughter interface cards (MDM), 8X96 Series becomes an 8 channel “digital swiss knife” which allows the user to leverage converter performance to most studio setups and situations. Mytek is the first converter company that offers practical interfaces to record 24/96 format on Tascam DA78HR, for example. The units perform extremely well in a high end environment of Sonic Solutions HDSP™ or Sadie 2496™ or workstations but can be equally beneficial for an ADAT owner who can now make use of 24 bit 96 kHz technology to dramatically improve ADAT sound. Even when used in 16 bit mode, the 8X96 converters produce 20dB (10 times) less distortion than standard ADAT converters.

The combination of great sound and interfacing capabilities make the 8X96 Series an ideal choice as a high quality front end for any piece of digital studio equipment.
