Are there any specs available that can help differentiate the preamp quality between the new GX stage rack for Avantis vs. the DM/CDM racks for DLive? I’m in the market to buy right now and trying to look at a loaded our Avantis vs. a more entry level DLive.
I’d suggest to test both and THEN decide which one is for you..I believe they have a different workflow.. they’ll both sound excellent (or most probably exactly the same)..
but tey do have a different (mostly HW, with the software integration, new screens) feature set.
The avantis will be cheaper IF you need a relatively high number of faders.
To meet my requirements I’ll need Avantis, GX4816, DX168, a Dante card, and the dPack license. That’s still a good bit cheaper than a C3500/CDM64/Dante setup but I may not be able to get the Avantis in hand before my critical timeline is up. I doubt i will be able to lay hands on it before we make a decision since they don’t ship till next month so my choice may be made for me.
