however, I did recently ran a comparison between the A/D in the V3 against the A/D in the 722. (see this thread: http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,81297.0.html). while Bean prefers the 722 A/D over the V3 A/D (and he definitely talks it up a lot ), I'd say in general, the V3 A/D and the 722 A/D are pretty much on par with each other, with some people preferring the 722 and others the V3.
Fwiw, it looks like 6 people chose the v3 and 14 chose the 722. So not really even.
yes, more people did prefer the 722 A/D over the V3 A/D, I did not mean to imply otherwise. When I said that I thought the comp showed that the two A/D's were "on par with each other", I meant that although people could tell the difference, many people (myself included) thought that they were more similar sounding than they had initially expected. nashphil had some interesting comments in that thread, which I agree with. good mics and a nice pre are significantly more important than the A/D. I think the V3 A/D vs R09 A/D comp also shows that. nice mics with a nice pre-amp, and the result will be a nice recording, regardless of the A/D used.
now, back on topic for this thread. based on my comments above, I would expect a MiniMe A/D vs. 722 A/D to show that the two are very similar. they are both great converters and I don't think the sound differences between the two would be that large. but I'd love to hear a comp to find out
