Just to make sure I don't get too excited about this unit but it DOESN'T have a digital input, correct?

Correct.

I know, I know, I mean I think I can get around $800 for just the tmod+ and the jb3, there's your 660 right there, but I still have these occasions where 24-bit is so worth it, and my laptop batt just crapped out!  >:(  I've got to finish a project with my 410, my student loans start next month, sheesh...

My 660 just arrived from Oade yesterday.  Thanks Nick.   ;D

Played around with it last night.  Man, this thing sounds sweet!  It has that smoothness that reminds me of a V3.  Really easy to use, like you guys said.  Love the presets.  And the Kingston 2Gb had no issues what so ever.  Thanks to everyone for convincing me to get this box.  I'm very happy.   ;D  Phat!!

Thanks Keith!  I can't wait to run this puppy.  I might tape somethin' local tonight.  Just to test it out.   ;D

Actually I'm waiting on a set of Power2000 2700 mah AAs I picked up off of eBay.  4 batteries and their smartcharger of $20.00.  I have Power2000 2100 mah in there right now and had no issues with them.  I've used the Power2000 with my power-hungry Olympus camera (my digital is 9 years old) for a couple of years and they've been a rock.  Power2000 are just as good in Powerexs, IMO.  Both are popular on eBay as far AA bats go.

True.  2700 mah should get me solid hours.  8 hours, ya think, with phantom on? The 480s and 853s don't draw much.
