Best Roland D to A converters....5080, Fantom or 5050

[Ultra left right]

Hi,

I wonder if anybody has compared these three units from one another (side by side) using the same sounds.

 

I think the Fantom sounds brighter or better than the other two, but I've never actually tried them out that way.

I could not hear any difference between the 5050 and the 5080. I have not compared the Fantom. All are speced as 24bit convertors at Roland\'s web site

Is it a real big leap going XP80 to a Fantom?

Man. I am so disappointed with Roland. MY XP80 and 2 other XP60´s of friends of mine have the same problem. The sequencer just can not play in perfect sync. Also, using the 4 output direct out mode, we always listen to leakage from one out to the othr. Of course we turned off any effect, pan, etc.

 

My old toy,a JW50 has abetter sequencer.

 

Anyone had that?

Also, many small pieces of metal are falling from my individual keys. I do not live in Sahara or so. All my other keyboards do not suffer this, even being older. W30, JW50, 01V.

 

so... anyone can help? Roland?
