I'm planning to connect a certain blue-faced AD/DA unit to a DAW interface with an ADAT connection. The converter unit has AES XLR I/O, so I was considering using the Alesis to interface the converter with the DAW.
My question is-does the AI-4 operate as a single purpose computer, such that it does this conversion more or less perfectly, or will it somehow degrade the signal?
Also, are there units which do a better job of this?
Thanks
