Go for it, Bean.  Now if only I could find my Sound Pros toslink-RA > mini-RA cable I bought.  Gone.  Not a clue where it went - it didn't even make it home from work.  No, it's not in my home office...flawless filing system, remember?

i have a quickie tho, i dont believe, but im just making sure:

are optical cables directional???

[MattD]

No.

[F.O.Bean]

No.

thanks matt!!

oooops, i was too captivated by the pics!!

also, i think ive done my homework right, if i am, i believe the 2 internals in the jb3 will go 6 hrs continuously, and the converter will go about the same off of one external rc batt??

also, whatsup w/ the channel swapping??

[Brian Skalinder]

also, whatsup w/ the channel swapping??

The channel swapping doesn't have anything to do with the ODL-312, Bean, don't sweat it.  It's my soundcard - I've duplicated the problem with multiple external digital sources: D8, D100, V3, DA-30.  The soundcard just plain gets it wrong sometimes.  WTF!!  Kinda irritating, frankly, and if I wasn't going to use my JB3 as my primary recorder, I'd probably switch cards.

Uhhhh...there you go again, Bean, not reading the first post in the thread.  Published prices are BS, give Full Compass a call.

hey - don't know if the question is still out there, but on the subject of how do you synch up two sources for comparison:

I like to start both recording devices going without a source signal turned on.  Then you switch on the source.  This can be accomplished by pressing play on a cd player if that's the source, turning an FM tuner on, or turning your phantom power on if you're testing with mics.  Makes the start points real easy to find.  You don't even need to worry about the end points - most comparison programs will give you a result that tells you everything is identical but A is XX seconds longer than B.  (I needed an efficient way of doing this when I did all that JB3 bit accuracy testing).
