Steinberg MR816 CSX and X Mods

From: $375.00

What’s not to like about Yamaha and Steinberg? A solid interface platform based on the Dice 2 chipset, AK5385 converters, and the marriage of Steinberg’s great software work and Yamaha’s no nonsense DSP design. The Dice 2 chipset offers a fantastic PLL and clock management package, and the inclusion of a beefy Yamaha-designed DSP system helps keep latency low. Read below for details on how we can take your interface to the next level!

000

We are offering the following modifications for the MR816 CSX and MR816 X:

Standard Mod

Analog

  • – New, high performance op-amps on EVERY analog input and output (mic preamps, line inputs, headphone outputs, and line outputs)
  • Improving the performance of the analog stage circuits makes a drastic difference for tracking, mixing, and mastering (expect amazing micro-dynamics and space)!
  • Premium Mod (includes Standard Mod)

    Digital

  • – New, proprietary decoupling on all A/D and D/A converters as well as ferrite power filtration on all the D/A converters
  • Our approach to converter decoupling and ferrite power filtration reduces noise generated during the conversion process, leaving you with crisp, clear audio!
  • Hear what happens when you combine good with great!

Booking a Mod

A 50% down payment will be collected during checkout for booking a modification. The remaining 50%, plus return shipping, will be due when the modification is complete. You will be prompted to choose a mod date when you add a mod to your cart. After booking, you will receive an email confirming your chosen “mod date” and shipping details.

The interface is not included in the mod price. You must supply us with an interface to be modified.

Please read our full sales policies prior to booking a mod.

Mod Rating

We often get asked our opinion on how one interface compares to another, so we’ve decided to create a rating system based on subjective A/B listening tests. The scale is from 1-10, with “1” being unimpressive audio quality and “10” being true audio excellence. This is an exponential scale, so going from “1” to “2” isn’t nearly as big of a jump as going from “9” to “10”.
Please keep in mind, we only modify an interface if we can make a significant improvement to the sound. All of our ratings are ultimately a matter of opinion. To view how we rate all of our mods, click here.
