Has anyone here had a chance to demo it? Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you have ab'ed against other converters.
Thanks.

Isn't it the same chips as the Svartbox?

I read somewhere they were burr brown DAC's? which seems odd to me, i'd love to know what they're using in there, I know Greg Wells did a big thread on how amazed he was with the Pure2, then he posted a sample that IMO sounded just awful, i was kinda shocked...

There's a long thread on the Purple site with a loopback test...it's confusing as hell to read, but didn't the Hilo ultimately spec out the best?

I think converters are something that are best demoed in person, ideally in your own mixing environment. In the somewhat near future I'd like to pick up a stereo converter...sometimes mixing in the box but occasionally sending it out to a pair of VP28's, buss compressor, and maybe a stereo EQ...or a tape machine. Pure2 could do that, without breaking the bank. The Lynx Hilo also seems extremely flexible.
This is what I'd like to have for my home mixing set up:

Isn't it the same chips as the Svartbox? Both the Pure2 and Svartbox have PCM4222 AD chips. No info about DAC or opamps though. Pure2 has a theoretically better OVEN clock too. The Tascam UH-7000 is worth checking out too. Nice box for low bucks. |

Using one with the amphion one18s and the combo sounds incredible. Period. But I can only recommend you to demo one in your room and see if you like it.
BTW, I read a thread on this site some time ago where someone mentioned that an online test is meaningless in most cases and one should never try to judge a piece of an equipment based on it and I believe most people on that thread (including myself) agreed with him.
My opinion still hasn't changed.

I would have expected G Wells sample to be bangin! It was pretty unlistenable IMO, that doesn't mean the pure2 is bad though, it means GWells should stick to song writing haha
