First, I'm not a sound professional. Heck, not even a sound wannabe! So here's my question:
I recently got the Sony D100 and am very happy with it. There are some situations where I'd like to use it as part of my rig to record interviews/dialogs. I'll be using two lav mics (Countryman E6) going into a MixPre-D. From there I have XLR going out and then into the D100 via stereo-XLR-to-3.5-jack cable to line in. This setup sounds very good, but I'm wondering if there's any better way to send audio from the MixPre-D to the Sony D100.
On another thread (
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=146929.0) they are discussing going from a MixPre-D to Marantz 661 via SPDIF input. I have no idea what SPDIF is, or if there's really a better way to send audio to the D100. But if there is a higher-quality approach, and the only cost is acquiring the right kind of cable, then I'm all ears! Any suggestions/comments on this?
