Wanna go from a good old stereo amplifier into a Fireface UFX+. Since RME decided to drop -10dBV support, this results in a 9 dB higher noise floor, making it a pretty suboptimal solution.
Is there any simple and straightforward way I can boost the -10 dBV signal to +4 studio level before going into the UFX+ while maintaining the (relatively) low noise floor that the UFX+ is capable of and ideally also preserving everything up to 96 kHz?
I know next to nothing about electronics, so this may be simpler than I think or harder than I think. Thoughts?
Also, would I be well-advised to use DI Box going from unbalanced to balanced? I notice a certain amount of (inaudible) low frequency noise on the input currently going in directly. Should I even use a combo DI Box that can boost the level? If so, what kind of unit would be good?
This device claims to do just what I need: https://www.radialeng.com/product/j4
But it's pretty darn expensive (for that money I could probably just get a better ADC...) and a review on Thomann says it colors the sound.
