I don’t have a direct comparison, but I would guess that the d/a and a/d converters are exactly the same. Imo it would not make sense economically to use different converters in the one when the mainboard etc are the same in all new mpcs.
could be wrong though, just a guess..

ok, forget my previous post. here you can order the outs for the mpc live
https://www.mpcstuff.com/pcb-main-assembly/
On that site they do not have listed the converters for the one, yet, but the one of course has different number of outputs and so on and it has to be a different pcb board...shouldn’t write stuff here so early^^
so the question is if they use the same audio converters on different boards or not^^

Here are information of the chips used in the Live:

Every 3 months, that test is mandatory. Funny how those who calibrate their gear, never have these issues. :lol: It's always strange to hear this, time and time again. But when I hear their mixes I'm like, "Where is the super sensitive hearing at on these mixes?" :lol:

How does someone hear the difference, between a mpc 60, 3000, 4000, X, one, and Force. But you can't get the kick and bassline in a good place. :popcorn:

Are the converters and output stage of One and Live (and X) exactly the same?


Play your music and then I'll answer the question. Until then, go change your account name again. Or better yet, buy the machine and test it yourself. :lol:

Wow a very precious and detailed answer.

Only thing useless, is you using the MPC as paper weight. Where's that music at?

The OP made a question.
None of you replied, but just made jokes as always.
Since you pretend to be expert, do you know the answer?
Or you are just expert of the right chair position and you want new users to get disgusted by your answers and run away from here so you can keep on talking about your chairs and piss on the territory?
And don't move the thread somewhere else.
Converters and output stage are the same on Live and One?

Yes, I know the answer? It's called real world testing and reading the manual. But you'll have to make music in order to do that. Where's the music at? Frisbi, Lumi, Boomerang, Gumi, Gumbo, Grimly, Firefly. :lol:

Oh mine, I was right, you are totally useless.
Anyone knows the right answer?
