The instruments are analog smile

The recording interface takes analog inputs and converts to digital, and from there on it's digital until it comes back out of the interface to the monitors.

I do have a digital input on the interface, but that's being used to link another box to give me more inputs.

The idea was that I could use the "spare" 586 to sit at my desk and listen to other people's music (as I did Friday night) , but I don't have room for a set of speakers dedicated to this task, and my interface has 3 monitor-outs.

So ... now I need to get the CD player integrated as an "instrument", so I need an analog out into the interface. Then of the 3 analog "monitor" outs, one needs to be converted back to digital to go to the DSP5000.

Apogee recommended their Rosetta analog to digital converter to be installed between their interface monitor outs and the DSP speakers, but thisMmeridian box was cheaper so I thought I'd see if I could get it to work easily wink
