Behringer SRC2496 Ultramatch Pro Format Converter

AD/DA Converters

Like its predecessor, Behringer's new Ultramatch enables you to transfer digital audio signals between devices with different sample rates, formats or interfaces, disable SCMS for 1:1 digital copies and remove dropouts or jitter from digital media. Simultaneously operable outputs offer splitter functionality, and the 24-bit/96-kHz compatible SRC2496 now offers A/D and D/A conversion.

REVIEWS
Feature:
It might occassionally be nice to have standard unbalanced inputs like RCA or TS. Otherwise its got all the features I can imagine needing.

Quality:
Although I have heard others claim that Behringer's products are not reliable in their first release, I have never had anything go wrong with this or the other Behringer product that I own.

Value:
This is a good value. The clean sound and the extensive features are pretty impressive given the price tag.

Desirability:
This is a practical unit that solves problems with different sampling rates, and converts to and from digital. It's not the kind of thing that has sex appeal. You buy it for its features.

Sound:
The ADC section is quite clean and flat sounding, with a low noise floor.

Support:
Don't know how their support is because I never needed it.

Overall:
For a lot more money you can probably get a slight increase in dynamic range, a tiny bit less jitter, etc. But for anything less than a perfectionist, this is a great product at a great price, and I've been happily using it to make recordings.
