No. I wouldn't say that. But the ODAC is known for being a very transparent, accurate DAC, one of the best for the money. I would imagine it would sound very good with the LSR305s.
I am basically looking for the DAC equivalent of the JBL
You can be reassured something like the 2i2 will sound clean and clear. It's not worth the pro manufacturers while to take a risk with the SQ. They want to sell expensive software on the back of the cheap hardware. So you get the benefit of using balanced connectors immiediately and the other extra features are effectively free for when you discover how useful they are.
The likes of the ODAC has proved there is no longer any excuse for a manufacturer to market a DAC which is not audibly transparent. At any price. They should all sound the same.
''Founded in 1985 by Rupert Neve, Focusrite's first contracts included a commission from Sir George Martin to build extensions to Air studios' custom Neve consoles'
"The company also co-developed plugins and hardware for the popular Pro Tools range of digital audio workstation (DAW) systems."
"In August 2004, Focusrite acquired electronic instrument manufacturer Novation and became a subsidiary called Novation Digital Music Systems Ltd.[4] (later re-dubbed Novation)"
"Late 2010 saw Focusrite return to the plug-in arena with the release of the Midnight plug-in suite. This utilises powerful DSP technology to exactly model the classic Focusrite ISA110 equaliser and ISA130 compressor, even including high-resolution front-panel emulations reminiscent of the hardware units."
I rest my case Milud.
I've also been researching computer desktop powered monitors. I think I've decided on these over any of the others mentioned here. They seem to have all I am looking for but far better sound than the others from on-line reviews. Anyone here heard them?
