for a remote production I need the guitarist to buy a preamp and converter to track vocals and Bass and guitar DIs....

I do not want him to use his DIGI002 preamps or converters...

of course I recommended API a2d, but since the price is not exactly low it's clearly a bit out of range....

so I'd love to read some recommendations for a very (VERY) high quality preamp and converter combo with ADAT out
 
VERY high quality and low price probably won't happen.

The Focusrite ISA One Digital comes to mind. The ISA pres are pretty good on everything.

The Universal Audio 4-710d would be a great choice (though not much cheaper than the API).
 
^~$1000 on the used market. Not bad at all, when you consider you get excellent conversion, 2 nice preamps and the MIO mixer, all in a FireWire interface that can be buss powered (and also has 8 channels of ADAT).

Think that's what I'm gonna upgrade to, after I make the switch to Mac :D
 
i'd go with the ISA as well if the pres in the current units are of equal quality to original ISA 110/220 units
