yes. They will need the appropriate cables for their MD to go from any of the three outputs on your UA-5 (RCA, Coax, Toslink).

Also (I think) you will have to run at 24/48 in order to send a viable signal to a MD or DAT.

You definitely don't need to do this.

I think what BeckyT was saying is that you can't record a 96k sample rate to the laptop and still patch MD or DAT.

16/44.1, 16/48, 24/44.1, and 24/48 should all pass a signal to patching MD or DAT.  If you are doing 24bit, the MD/DAT will trucate to 16bit - not ideal, but it will work.

Also, I think it needs to have the digi-mod to use the USB, coax and optical all at the same time. I dont think the stock UA-5 sends a signal to all the outs. I could be very wrong though.

The stock UA-5 will send two digital signals.... Always via the USB and then also to either the coax or optical, depending on how the switch is set.

The switch sets which input it uses: optical/coax.

I've always been under the impression that the switch is for both modes. Don't have the manual in front of me, though, and Edirol's site doesn't have an online version.

Its definitely easier if you have a digi-mod since it always has the USB, coax & optical active at the same time without any special software settings.  You can do it with a stock UA5, but you have to use the USB in duplex mode by doing real time monitoring of the recording through the software.  Not all software will allow this.  What happens is the signal passes from the UA5 via USB to the computer, then the software will allow monitoring by sending signal back to the UA5 via USB and out the analog and digital outputs.  In this situation, you may only get one digital out - coax or optical, selected by the switch on the back of the unit.

Thanks for the help guys, The last post was exactly what I was looking for.  Can anyone point me in the direction for the DIY digimod?  I searched the archives, and a few other places, but could find no instructions for this, Iknow my searching isn't the greatest yet.  Thanks in advance!
