They didn't want to admit it after dumping all their cash into the 666's....

So you've said before. But you know, designers love to canabalize sales of higher end gear with their clever innovation; it's marketers who need to love all their children equally with that "best in class" jibber jabber.
God bless Gearslutz!
You are a diplomat, but I don't doubt what you say about the preamps. I remember when Trak2 was coming out and everyone was thinking "what does Apogee know from preamps?" And then they just blew everyone away. The pres on that thing are surprisingly good. I don't think those designers were thinking "best in class and no better" either.

So, while I know the jury's still out on the Ensemble, I wouldn't be surprised if, as you nibble at above, it gives higher-end gear (even your own) a run for its money.

Or maybe not - who knows?!

In any case, get those bad boys out there and I'll buy one, damnit!

yeah i was about to get the rosetta 200 but realized about the lack of headphone output. what did you get at the end? i need headphones cause i record in the same room as i do tracking.

is there a way to split the signal before hitting the outputs. like for instance. to use my motu 828 mk3 headphones output but still use the rosetta 200 output to my speakers at the same time, knowing that i would hear motu 828s converters through the headphones and rosettas converters through the speakers. obviously while recording I wont use my speakers.

anybody has done something like this before?
