Topic: Mini-Me as Preamp

[MattH]

Wondering if anyone has used the Mini-Me as a preamp before using the monitor/headphone output? I have given many analog patches this way for minidiscs and JB3's but never really considered it as a preamp and always take the digital output. I'm asking because I am considering using it as a preamp with my DSD recorder. This way I can get a PCM and DSD recording from the Mini-Me preamp. This output always sounded great with headphones to me.

maybe find some mini-mp recordings?  apogee's mini-mp is a mini-me without the ad.

I would like to but haven't really seen many if any. I'm pretty sure the Mini-MP is a better pre, even better than the Track-2's pre. Hoping it's more like the V3 pre.

im pretty positive the mini-mp is a different pre than whats in the minime.

what exactly do you mean, can you clarify (sorry, a little slow today  )
are saying that you want to know how well it works as a pre?

Yes, wondering if it would work well as a pre and not just a combo pre/AD. Kinda like the V3 can be used as pre when feeding a SD 722 or in my case a DV-RA1000. Thanks in advance for any insights.

I know Daryan Lenz used the mini-mp minime combo and realize this isnt exactly what your looking for.  Personally ive never used the minime a solely a pre hopefully someone else can help you out, best of luck
