Hello, I was considering buying either the H120 or the H320, for recording my band.  I have a powered stereo mic, but no pre-amp.  Would I need a pre-amp for either of these models?  Finally, could anyone recommend a store/site that offers these models for sale, with decent prices?  Thank you!

Brock

you probably wont need a preamp,

recording rehearsals?


120 is no longer made  > ebay,

320 may be still in production > do a google

So what is the story with the Analog and Digital Gain?

I'm use to dat + linein + simple recording level knob.....

From what i am guessing Digital Gain with enable the preamp, giving noise and undesired sounds, yes?

Is Analog Gain OK to use?

Hey I got my iriver today and am trying to install rockbox on it.  I installed the firmware but im not sure I did it right, when I turn it on the screen just shows the folder "record", "installed patches", and rockbox, when I click on rockbox (I assume its the firmware) I get ROLO running and then nothing again.

What did I do wrong?

It should be running Rockbox when you boot it up. You shouldn't have to click on Rockbox.

Has anybody had luck with the optical in using Rockbox? I can get analog in no problem but zero when I run out of my UA5. Are there any settings? Compatibility issues?
The meters are nice compared to the JB3, right and left, pretty high resolution and rate. It is easy to set analog levels. Starting a new file is very quick. Navigation will take a little getting used to.

there isn't an option to select it in the settings, only line in and mic in.  They would have to enable it.  You can use optical in on the firmware that came with it however it will have noises every 30 seconds.

i used it for the first time tonight, i love how it can just start on the recording screen

OK, I checked the Rockbox forums and they said that optical in  is not yet supported but "for shure" [sic]  in the future (hopefully the near future). If you see this come out, please post, and I will do the same.
Thanks

just so I understand the iRiverH120: I can only record line-in (1/8" mini-plug) at this point but they're working on the bugs regarding optical-in? (and when they figure them out, I'll be able to record a digital signal?) it records in WAV and will last for at least 3-4 hours when recording in the field? this looks like a great stealthy unit for under $200! can I record into it via USB if using my UA-5? thanks all!

Yes, however recording an analog in will yield exactly the same results as a jb3, so its great

it records in WAV and will last for at least 3-4 hours when recording in the field? this looks like a great stealthy unit for under $200!

Actually I think it can record more like 12-16 hrs.  It is a great unit!

can I record into it via USB if using my UA-5? thanks all!

Not yet, however it acts like a mountable HD when plugged into your computer so you can simply drag and drop files.  It also has USB2.  So recording via usb is possible if they write the firmware but they have not yet.
