Convert-8

About

Convert-8 is an outboard or monitor controller by Dangerous Music. It is built as a dedicated digital-to-analog converter for tracking, mixing and mastering. It can feed an analog summing unit such as the 2-BUS+ or D-BOX+, or an analog console. It accepts digital signals including ADAT and can serve as a master clock for other digital gear in the studio.

What it sounds like

Dangerous describes its sound as open and three-dimensional, with a low end it calls ultra-clear. Its clocking uses JetPLL jitter elimination technology, which the vendor says virtually eliminates jitter in the audio band.
