mine did.  Best bet for zero issues is use the aes and go aes>spdif.  Bet there are plenty of cable makers here that will make a good on for ya.

I ran a MiniMe for years and never had a problem with the S/PIDF.

Mine might feel a little loose but it always transfers just fine.  Usually if I have problems, it is with the cable.

maybe I should elaborat with my experience.  If pressure was pushed inwards on the connector while in operation, it would flake for a split second.  I used a microtrack at the time.  MT's particularly don't do well with an interrupted digi signal.

However, this does not tarnish my opinion of the minime, which, is of the highest accord.  I miss my minime, just a damn akward size for field taping.  I bet I pick one up again though.   ;D

I had that issue as well and just got a canare 110 to 75 ohm transformer, snapped that into the aes out and hook up your spdif cable

bingo.
you guys...whats the problem w/running your MMe in a bag sideways?
almost all of the real gear backs have side access.  its not a hassle in the slightest.

It's not, since I've seen your setup.  I also run a sonicase.  I used to run it in the accessory pouch but didn't like the exposed wires.  Think I'm going back to apogee in the near future.  Might try the mmp this time around.

Got any pics of this "sideways" setup.  It would be sweet to run a mmp -> mme but I'm always concerned with space.

I too have thought about trying the MMP/E combo in the future.
I'll def. go back to some apogee box in the future but like most can't stand the size!

On the Mme I had, the spdif would barely even set. The hole was like douple the size of the pin!
It would've prolly been an easy fix, but the AES is bombproof, so I figured why bother.

four-hun-do is a steal!!!!!!!!
