The best converters spare no expense in their designs, with quality components, power supply technology, clocking facilities and flexible control.

High-quality conversion is necessary whenever a master recording is being created or repurposed for commercial use. As if carved in stone, no matter how fine a D/A is used, you cannot recover audio quality that exceeds the original A/D's capability. The A/D converter is even more important because its audio quality-as constrained by sample rate, bit depth, conversion precision, clock stability, analog input section-is permanently embedded within the produced digital data. In the studio, a truthful D/A is just as important as proper monitor speakers and a good listening space.
