that being said, i probably wouldn't recommend this to someone looking to go analog in to the unit.  
thank you for that explination. What i got from this quote is that newbie patchers should go JB3 Newbies witha full rig should go dat or laptop? Is that correct?

One more thing that is tangently related to this, if the JB3 is not a viable alternative then I say hold onto your DAT machines as it looks like it could be a while before we have a good, reliable and affordable HD solution.
You hit the nail on the head!
Also, Sony DATS are as portable as the nomads and record in 48k...I personally dont understand why DAT is such a dinosaur.  They really aren't any more difficult to use than an optical cable device.

Geoff to respond to your question from before, I've got no difference betweeh the original and my source.  I've lietened to both a few times now and they sound EXACTLY the same.

thats good so if i was run my planned rig M300>ua5>JB3 I would just go optical out of the UA-5 to the JB3? Anything else needed?(Besides batteries for the UA-5 and JB3 and Stand)

what i'm saying is that i think an outboard A/D in front of the JB3 would be in your best interests.  whether patching a full rig, or running your own.  the A/D in the JB3 is not the best.  

if you have the means to go the Laptop route, then this changes things altogether.  by all means, go with a Laptop.  get yourself a splitter, and you should have no trouble patching with a Laptop even.  build your rig up from there.  ;)

I can look into it, but i doubt i would be able to afford the laptop route. What would a starter type laptop cost around?

talk to Nick Georges on this list or the Oade Board.  he is the King of making inexpensive Laptop rigs.  you can grab something off of Ebay and set it up just for Taping pretty reasonably.  probably cheaper than buying a DAT.  ;)
