So, do you think this is a better DAT replacement than the JB3? I still have my Apogee AD1K, which I love, and plan to use till it's death. I currently record to a Vaio via a Digigram VX Pocket, but power is an issue. Not to mention that when I'm doing concert reviews that need to be filed that night I can't record. I've been looking at something that I can use at 16 bit till the Apogee dies, then go to 24.

I guess part of it is how are the AD/pre stages on various components compared to the AD1K? Has anyone compared an AD1K to a V3 to a 722? That's sort of my dilema right now.

Did you check the file on a PC to see what bit and sample rate was actually recorded. If it is accurate to the settings you had on the MT, I would most likely think it was just a spidf lock-up error. Hopefully the new firmware will be released soon to smoothen things about a bit.

Recorded again and stopped at around the 57:00 mark.  File was correct 16 biit 48k.  I thought is was a start id on the DAT with some blank space, but that was not the case.  As you say most likely an spdif issue.
