Octatrack AD/DA converters blind test

All the coloring people are talking about the Octatrack has very little to do with the converters, it’s more the built-in effects and gain staging affecting things. Even a fully open filter (which is default on a track) will color the sound slightly.

The converters are fine, I’ve measured them quite a bit and they are pretty much on par with an RME Fireface. :man_shrugging:

Maybe it would be more interesting to hear how different effect blocks affect the sound even on subtle settings.
