You should come over to the Octatrack sound quality thread.

Ahem.
That’s where he’s been all week.
Scale of industry. There’s obviously an interest but not enough large scale interest for top-end converters to justify the cost of R&D, retooling, and maintaining the product line.
Better to just eventually readdress the quality in a newer product line.
If you paid for “boutique” upgrades that neither pros nor “hipsters” are biting on perhaps the hipster lies within 
Seriously though, what’s the highest bid or offer you’ve rejected so far for it?
I can’t remember if anyone bid at all. I’m sure if it was $3,000 or more I would have remembered it.

If the converters are really good, then why is their such a long discussion about how good they are? The digitakt may sound better in most ways but I can hear that I would still rather rely on a modular where possible which is still what I need to do with my modified MPC X. Maybe I haven’t had the MPC long enough. Things I recorded to track sounded GREAT with the mod(not drums yet). I haven’t sampled any single sounds into it yet. The demo’s did not impress me in some ways. I got scared when I heard it!
I can organise that for you. For a price of course.

For that kind of money just buy an Eventide Orville / H8000 / H9000 and strap it permanently across all four outputs/inputs.
Would run circles around any modifications you could even imagine doing to the Octatrack; and gives you awesome convertors, adat, sp/dif, fully modular, routing, programmable etc etc.

I don’t see how that could improve a dry sound much but if you drench it in effect, might be good for dram pop or something.
World clock?
I think I have an app for that…
