I just sold my two jb3's but I read a somewhat believable thread on rec.audio.pro of someone recording 16bit/88.2(96khz), the Nomad wouldn't recognize or play the file but would transfer it to the PC. Someone with a UA-5 or digital soundcard feed their Nomad a 16/96 or 16/88.2 signal via optical in and then try to transfer the results back so we can see if this really works or if someone was blowing smoke.
Peace,

hmmm, well, it is a HD, so a digital signal is a digital signal, JB3 can't play it back because the D/A in it can't handle it, be curiouse to see if this works, can it do 24 bit?

I don't think so...but I guess if I get bored this afternoon, I could try to feed it some seblance of a 24 bit signal and see what happens!

I wasn't told it worked with a 24-bit signal, I would try the higher sampling rate first since that is was someone claimed to have work.

let us know how that works out, if for some strange reason it can take 24 bit it might make it worth it to get it

I just tried and couldn't get it to work. I'm using a UA-5 so all I can send is 96 not 88.2 but it would not pick up anything at 16/96, absolutely nothing, the JB3 showed no signal on the meters and there was nothing in the recording after transferring. So I then tried 24/48 and 24/96 and it would receive a signal but when I transfered it and opened them in Wavelab it was a 16/48 recording in both cases and the 24/96 one sounded very weird, like it was missing a lot of info, obviously. Thanks for gettting my hopes up. ;-) It was definitely worth a try.
