pytchley:
The Mackie sounds astonishingly good given it's a Mackie, behringer hmmmm!

dpdan:
it is laughable that someone is advised to throw away their Mackie mixer and buy a Behringer,

if they only knew how stupid that makes them look

Why the qualification? I think the DL1608/DL32R preamps and converters sound as good as any. Have you ever had the "fun" of making a high end pro Yamaha mixer sound good? Oy Vey those preamps can be brutal  if you don't leave LOTS of headroom :( .

Come on, I was being complementary to Mackie for once... +100 on Yamaha pre-amps, I have made some serious bad farting sounds with them, I have especially bad memories of a PM4000. I thought I had blown the speakers (huge turbosound TM something system, not mine) until i lowered the gain on the double bass at a festival back in analogue days.

I've been using my DL1608 since September 2014.  The Onyx preamps are very tolerant of being pushed.  I find them quite clean.  I left a MixWiz for the DL1608.  There was nothing wrong with the MixWiz and I did like it.  I just wanted the ability to save configurations, because I do a lot of different things and wanted to simplify my setup times.  Now during that time, Mackie has upped the functionality of the mixer so much.  I'm quite happy with it.
