Cool.............I have well over a mounth till I have to tape, so I will keep my eyes on the yard sale.
get a denecke AD-20, its essentially a pre and an analog to digital converter in one box, and runs off of 9v batteries or external power, they sell for about 175-200 dollars and would be a signifigant improvement over nothing, AND you could use the optical output of the ad-20 to run an optical input to the iriver
dont the irivers have an optical input?
that would be a sweet lil setuip IMO
