I never knew Black Lion Audio until I had looked up one of my favorite records and found out who mixed it because I wanted to mimic their signal chain for my own studio. "You and I" by Lady Gaga was recorded using their Converters. I saw that the engineer had upgraded to the White Sparrow MKII, so I purchased one for myself. I used Apogee/Focusrite Converter technology for tracking before this purchase, along with a Big Ben.
I can't remember purchasing a product that made such a difference in the sound quality then when I switched from all HOSA Cables to Mogami. The White Sparrow MKII opened up the sound in a way that was comparable to someone talking behind a blanket, and talking without the blanket. I was so impressed I showed my fiance what it can do by taking the outputs from the TV and putting them into the MKII. She was impressed more when I finally compared the two converters, but was much happier with the new shoes from the sale of the Apogee gear.
I monitored through Genelec S30C's and have a treated sound room.
It met my expectations, and made me wonder why I never purchased one sooner. I haven't had any issues hardware wise. I also got a free pre-amp with the sale. I haven't tried that out yet, but will submit a review once it is shipped out in August.
