An appropriate item at the end of the analog chain

Can’t get enough of this converter.

Stays at the end of my analog chain (Manley Ref C -> Neve preamp -> api2500+ -> Neve MBC -> RME UFXII - last two are connected through AES, so that main AD converter is MBC. Sounds fantastic!

Very, very transparent limiter.

Also, the silk colors are so good, that I couldn’t have imagined, that they would color my mixes so good. It adds a lot of sweet clarity.

The only thing, that I don’t like is that the power switch is at the back of the unit.
