I'm about ready to call this thing bit-accurate. I've put about 2.5 hours of audio through it and gotten 100% of the same bits put through the coax-in of the zoltrix.
Unfortunately, I have also gotten about 2 hours that were 99.9544% accurate. However, although I can't be 100% certain at this point, I am willing to attribute this to the Zoltrix Nightingale and/or the DAT deck as several transfers of the same 'offending' WAV through just the coax-in also resulted in a similar accuracy.
I still have yet to hook it up to the MiniMe and do a comparison feeding it that way, but once I do that I will presumably have a better idea if the DAT deck was the culprit. For the moment, I would venture to say that this thing is field ready.
Also - please note that in the .0466% of the time where problems arose, they were inaudible - The samples were not dropped, but rather slightly altered (I can post a pic or two if desired). Listening did not reveal a problem, but rather bit-for-bit file comparisons. So, you guys using the Hosa ODLs and saying "I haven't heard any problems" should know that just because you can't hear it, doesn't mean it's bit-perfect. That said, I do realize testing similar to what I am doing has been performed on the Hosas... I'm just saying this because in addition to that there seems to be a lot of stock put into what our ears can pick up which doesn't necessarily proove a thing.
