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!

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)!
- – 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!
Premium Mod (includes Standard Mod)
Digital

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.
