Mytek Digital Stereo 96 ADC (VER.7/sep 2010) - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction to
Stereo96 Series Converters
The MYTEK Stereo96 series consists of two 1/3 rack units- the
Stereo96 ADC and the Stereo 96 DAC. They are also a part of
an extended family of 1/3 rack units which also includes 192kHz
capable converters, SRC and Studio Clock. Stereo96 converters
can be used as stand-alone devices for a variety of studio
applications such as mastering, recording and playback,
whenever the highest quality conversion is required.
Users choose Mytek converters primarily for their outstanding
sound quality. The sound of Mytek converters can be described
as "transparent". We design our converters to be as faithful to the
signal as possible, rather than follow a philosophy of some other
manufacturers who offer "analog" or "tube" sounding converters.
Mytek converters are closest to a straight wire, which is
especially evident when used at full 24/96 resolution. Sonically
they are equal or better than the most expensive mastering
converters. Even when used in 16 bit mode, the Stereo96
converters produce 20dB (10 times) less distortion than typical
converters found in budget recording equipment. On the Mytek
website you can find and download various sound samples to
evaluate the Stereo96 series sound quality and compare it to the
sound of other high end converter units. To download samples
