@mitch2 I called Sweetwater and they said they just replaced their DAC's in the recording studio's with the new Imersiv DAC's.  They said the D1 DAC's just outperformed everything.

@mitch2 I called Sweetwater and they said they just replaced all the  DAC's in the recording studio's with the new Imersiv DAC's.  They said the D1 DAC just outperformed everything else.
