It would depend on how your converters are calibrated but on mine where 0VU = -15dBFS that puts the cross talk barely above the converter noise floor. I remember when this console emulation fad started I did an experiment with my set up and ran some signals through my cheap hardware to see how much cross talk came backīy running an empty channel next to a channel with a signal through my converters, into a patchbay, into an ART Pro comp, back through the patch bay into an A&H desk and back through the converters the empty channel picked up < -75dBu of cross talk. The cross talk and hiss of the channels of the desks were not the reason that people used them, it was for the mic pres, the EQs, filters and in the case of the 4K (SSL 4000 series) the recordable and recallable automation, The VCA compressor, gates and filters on every channel as well as the patchable stereo VCA comp for bus or master bus duties Personally I would only use it on bus or master bus duties where some cross talk and THD might give a slight enhancement and stereo widening
