Dante
I didn't know a damn thing about Dante
before embarking on this mission. But
the amount of weight in copper Dante
saved me is worth its weight in—well,
copper. Dante has unlimited possibilities
in connectivity, interconnectivity, and
interfacing. It's an amazing invention. In
the process of adapting from analog to
digital, Dante makes total sense. The
only difficulty comes when something
goes wrong. That's when the concept of
trying to follow a logical analog sound
path goes out the window. In other
words, it's another operating system to
learn. So, when things did go wrong,
that's when I'd call Terence—who's in
his 30's and understands the digital
interfacing world well.
