Lack of S/PDIF I/O on most of these is a deal killer for me: I have too many DATs that need to be transferred.
Realized about a month ago that my old sound card, an M-Audio FireWire, wasn't working perfectly for me... it's somehow developed a habit of randomly inserting 8-sample noise glitches
Could be the W7 machine instead.
Seems to be quite unpredictable and intermittent, but it's a problem no matter what!
Now doing digital transfers DAT to SD722, then pulling them off that machine via the FW connection.
Kind of a hassle, but it solves that part of my problem.
Lack of computer/network connectivity on the Tascam DA-3000 is another bummer.
I don't think it makes sense to make a digital transfer to flash media, then move the physical media to another machine for editing access to it.
I assume that anyone using the DA-3000 is only using it for transfers.
Anyone out there saving the flash cards as an additional backup source?
