Do the DAC's on the MPC2000XL just suck...

I understand everything that you're saying, but just because you haven't heard of or experienced something doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You're not the end-all of all things MPC.

I understand that it could be something on my end, but then that means that myself and all the other people complaining about the problem are all doing the same thing, if I'm correct?

first off. everyone in this forum have their own opinions,you can choose
to accept or reject,now rem) I understand your point about the dac's on the
MPC vs PC. look at this) most of the time playing back what I've recorded
into the PC from the MPC I can't tell the difference,Why? hold that thought.
you said sending the sounds from your zip to the PC is fine,but when you
transfer to the MPC your sound is being cut off right! ok then back trace between the PC and MP. check your mixer ,cables,soundcard settings,etc.
eliminate the process ,that's your answer.MPC3000 said ,and is saying rule
out everything that can be causing the decay at the tail end of your drum
kik,sound etc. Simple as that. Remember YOU ask the Q) You have a problem w/dac. So do you want to solve the problem or ?(Don't talk in Circles) Now I use 24/96 audiophile great soundcard,on the MPC Dac is ok
sound wise.but me personally I got the mpc for sequenceing,because of that Humanizing feel it brings. And it can Master/Slave/Smpte/MtC- it's
butt off (hardware), Software logic,cubase,Pro-tools,etc. brings something
different. So I would advice you to look back at the threads grab what you
can and fix your problem,then debate or prove your case. I hope this calms this subject down,but this is what make's MPC (Akai) A famous Product to use in the Music Industry. T"

Word. I couldn't have put it better myself. It's simple, though not THE MOST ADVANCED DACs in the world, the MPC does not have sucky DACs (or, for that matter ADCs), so there has to either be a problem somewhere in your recording chain or with YOUR PARTICULAR MPC itself. There is no other explanation. Just my 2.
