So, to recap, optical in/out capable, but Rockbox doesn't support it yet so only 1/8" line in. Approximately 16 hours of record time. You can monitor levels with the remote. I have some questions on this unit though. I've done some research, but I'm looking for some clarifications.
1) On the fly gain adjustment, right?
2) Does the remote allow you to adjust the gain while monitoring levels?
3) Does the new update that lights the backlight to indicate clipping do so on the remote as well? If not, is it do-able?
4) Has anyone used one in any extreme heat? I know the JB3 has problems with heat (i.e. festies).
5) Has anyone done any testing on the ADC to compare to the JB3/other?
6) Replaceable batteries, but what do they run? Are they some obscure type?
7) Does anyone know for certain that Rockbox is working on making the optical in functional?
Is the hardward itself capable of 24 bit capture even if they can?
9) Has Rockbox enabled use with Mac?
10) Any testing done on the SNR?
It seems to me that three things are needed to make this box optimum: a) get the optical in working, b) bit perfect, and c) 24 bit.
