Hi Tailspn, thanks for the detailed explanation. Yes, my proposed setup for a future experience would be two Horus units (or Hapi with the same AD cards), fitted with the internal mic pres which would take the signals from the stage mics directly into the AD card on one of the converters. Then the mic signals from that converter would feed the second via direct outs or Ravenna, depending on your Horus card configuration. Meaning no external mic splitters either. So no mixing console or external pres involved. You could leave the converters next to the stage to shorten mic cables and extend the ethernet cables to the DAW`s in the control room. Then both Horus would feed the two Pyramix DAW's via Ravenna, one at 64fs (or 128fs) and another at 256fs, eventually using one of the recommended ethernet switchers or with direct connection to the DAWS. The idea for this would be to compare the recording at diferent sampling rates only, using the same protocol for the DSD stream into the DAW, thus removing the converter comparison and tone from the mixing desk or external pres. Well, just an idea, if one day you feel like it. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to pose some questions regarding the recording itself: 1-On one of the picture´s label is said that the 256 DSD stream feeding from the Horus to one of the Pyramix DAWS was via the red ethernet cable. So, it was handled by Ravenna into the Merging recommended PCIe network card. On the Grimm side, I presume that the DSD 64 stream went into the second Pyramix DAW through a Mykerinos card with a SDIF daughter card, taking the feed from the Grimm SDIF output. Correct? 2-Was the base clock provided using the converters in internal mode or an external clock was used to feed both converters, thus running them in slave mode? 3-Despite the clock method employed, what are your thoughts on clocking stability between streaming and clocking via an ip protocol such as Ravenna and a SDIF output and separate clock feed to the Mykerinos card from the Grimm? Any issues? 4-Finally, would it be interesting if one day you could make another test, using two Horus and their mic pres straight from the mics on stage and recording at 64 and 256 simultaneously to two Pyramix via Ravenna. Just a suggestion of course, by now, thanks for the experience so far.
