Hi Mark! We got a Lavry Engineering Blue LE 4496. Just a 2 channel a/d and no d/a was less than $1500 a couple of years ago. They gave us an educational discount. It doesn't do 192 khz though! Lavry converters had been recommended on this list a while back. http://www.lavryengineering.com/index_html.html Hope this helps! Erik Notre Dame Archives Quoting "Mark W.
