AFI1 brukes som klokke og formatkonverter mellom firewire (Mac) og AES/EBU (EmmLabs). At den også funker ypperlig med Amarra er heller ikke å forakte

"Sound Quality
The best I heard from any sound card, period. First of all our mastering studio have all jitter-immune DACs from terrific Weiss DAC1-Mk2, dCS 954 and Crookwood Mastering Console DAC. We have both Mac and PC sound interface from RME digiface, Lynx AES16SRC, firewire devices MetricHalo 2D Expanded 2882 +DSP, ULN2 etc. I can proudly say jitter is not a concern here in our mastering room. However, I still feel that the sound from AFI1 is superior, especially in high sampling rate high resolution materials. To avoid goes into digital audio Vodoo, I will just want to have AFI1 in all my production from now on. The feeling is similar to last time when we hook up a Weiss Hydra-C between CD transport and DAC. ** Hydra-C and AFI1 uses completely different dejittering solution although they are both based on dual PLL scheme jitter is suppressed in two stages. **
When almost 100% of all today recordings (even Vinyl!!) are made by DAW (digital audio workstation), there is no reason why using computer as source sounds inferior than CD transports. The historical audiophile digital myth will be out soon, if not already out. When looking at today digital media, all DVD-A, SACDs, Blu-ray disc, are not as effective and good as music file.
Weiss AFI1 is the ultimate bridge between computer and music playback/recording."
