would you recomend this over a dat at this point?
I've been running it as my primary since late December, and I'd put it right on par with most of the consumer portable DAT's out there. It does have issues, but if you can look past that, you'll love it. Two caveats, though:
1) You've got to have an optical signal- great for UA-5, Apogee, and ?zefiro users, but sucks for the rest of yall, since you've got to buy a converter, which is flaky at best in my experience.
2) Power issues. Trying to run it off anything but internals isn't an easy task at all.
Bottom line: I'm going to get a different HD box when they become availible, but I'll probably keep the JB3 for stealth.
