I was wondering if anyone is familiar with digital preamps and the various unique sonic elements that different brands offer. I 've tried a number of
different analogue preamps in my life and can audition the differences of an SSL preamp and a more commercial Tascam preamp as well as the
transparency of a Sonosax one but I am not much experienced on digital preamps.
Has anyone compared the digital preamp offerings from Schoeps, Lake People and Audio root ?
I am particularly interested on compact preamp offerings rather than 1 U units.
Is anyone aware of the current draw required for Digital Phantom Powering and whether DPP restricts on board batteries on compact units ( i.e. DPP needs an external power source ).
Since A/D is always taking place in the mic with digital mics, do digital preamps play as an important role as analogue ones ?
