MixPre-D cable question: AES to S/PDIF into Tascam DR-100 MKII
jimbee:
After searching the forum, I'll break down and ask what I hope is not a dumb newbie question.
Is there such a thing as a cable that would go from XLR female to male 3.5mm TRS (with three black rings and four metal conductors) and also convert the AES/EBU output to S/PDIF, which I believe is 110 ohm to 75 ohm?
In searching, I noticed a post that mentioned Tapers Section cable builders, so maybe they could do this, but how do you contact them?
Also, has anybody with a MixPre-D tried this, and does it give you a much better recording than you would get from the Tascam DR-100 MKII by itself? Or if no one has tried that, how about going from the MixPre-D line output into the Tascam XLR line in? Is there a big improvement in the recording?
Thanks for any advice,
jimbee

Talk to Ted, he is a great guy and makes great cables (i bought a few from him.) See: http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=133186.0
He made me a digital cable to connect my mixpre EAS out to edirol r44 digital in. probably that is what you need.
F.O.Bean:
contact Ted or darktrain. They can build you exactly what you need ;)

I was under the impression that the Tascam DR-100 mkII didn't play nice with the MixPre-D's digital out

DigiGal:
Regarding the MixPreD this is quoted from the manual...
"Master Outputs/AES Output: Balanced AES3 Out on Right XLR connector, 110 ohm, 2 V p-p, AES3 and S/PDIF compatible with RCA adaptor."

That dr-100 review only tried it with an older mini me, not sure if the mini me is listed as S/PDIF compatible.
