I just looked up the Merging Hapi, here's the thing i don't get, why do these manufacturers insist on combining conversion with pre's? I'm in need of straight up multi channel AES compatible ADC's, i have great pre's, and have no interest in them being combined with my conversion.

I have 2 x AD8 for 16ch There are no 'chips' per say in the audio path. They use custom wound Cinemag input transformers. The AD8 effectively has two 'record' modes. Low latency mode(non PEP) and PEP. The first is very open/natural sounding without the zing typical of ICs. Cymbals sound like cymbals. PEP initially sounds a little more 'round' but in actuality its just smoother and makes mixing gel unlike any other convert I've ever tried before. I've had my hands on myteks, antelopes, etc etc. Not a knock at those brands but the AD8 is very unique to say the least. You gotta try them to see if they work for you. Josh at JCF is very responsive which is always a big plus in my books. Got a second for 16 A/D

Because a lot of these manufacturers customers want them! Merging's market is the acustic remote guys who want the rig as compact as possible.
