Okay guys I have a question. I am currently in the process of upgrading my current interface, I currently have an Avid Mbox 3. I am currently looking at a few Focusrite interfaces, particularly the Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 interface. If you're interested in the specs, here they are Liquid Saffire 56 | Focusrite
Now, I want to start doing sessions at 96K. I normally use the SPDIF output of the Axe fx into the SPDIF input of my Mbox. As you know though, the digital audio of the Axe fx is clocked at 48K, so I have to do sessions in Pro Tools at 48K, and like I said I want to start doing them in 96K. My questions is though, if it is okay to use the XLR D/A output of the Axe Fx, into the A/D XLR input of the Liquid Sapphire. Some people said don't do it, because of too much analog to digital and vice versa conversion, but this seems like the only way I can do sessions at 96K and still use the Axe FX. Personally, I didn't hear any difference in sound when I tested it out, but I'm asking you guys f it sonically makes a difference if I record this way. I mean Cliff did say that the Axe has very good D/A conversion, and the Sapphire also has very good pre-amps and A/D conversion, but I still wanna know if it's okay to record this way, just for peace of mind.
