   I happen to know of two companies that are designing 16-bit AD/DA
converter systems for the Macintosh.  Altough the ADAP system sounds great
from the adds, the same thing is also possible using the Macintosh or
the Amiga.  Let's face it- there are no physical restraints that would
restrain anyone from designing a high quality DA/AD system for any of
these systems, given enough memory and time.  Lets quit arguing about
which system is best, and give us all USEFUL, ACCURATE information
about the capabilites of ALL machines which might fit the needs of
some individuals.  (Hype aside, the ADAP post did have a few facts
which were useful)
