Absolutely loving this combo! Thanks again for all the great information on settings and tips.
One more question: If I want to run the combo described above and plug in a MTII using the s/pdif coax from the V3 to the MTII, I will be using the MTII's a/d converter? Since I have the a/d turned off on the V3, running analog into the SD702 and using that a/d converter of the SD unit, I will be forced to use the a/d in the MTII when going digital out of the V3. Is this correct? Or because I have the a/d turned off on the V3, there is no digital out of the V3 because it's disabled.
Shit, I think I just confused myself...
In the situation you have described above, you would need to turn the V3's A/D converter back on. That way,you would be going analog out of the V3 via the XLR outs to the SD 702's XLR inputs (set to line level), and s/pdif out from your V3 (which uses both the V3's preamp and a/d converters) into your MTII's s/pdif input. The MTII would only be used as a bit bucket (the s/pdif input on the MTII bypasses it's own preamp and a/d converters using the ones from whichever device is feeding it, in this case your V3).
Hopefully this makes sense. If not, feel free to send me a PM and I can try my best to explain it more clearly.

I think I follow, I'm still running analog out to the SD702 because of the outputs from the V3 to the inputs of the SD 702. So even if I have the a/d "on" in the V3, I'm still sending an analog signal to the SD 702. The only way I'll send a digital signal to the SD 702 is via the digital output, which I'm going to use the MTII for. Does this sound about right?
You know once I sit and actually look at what I'm asking it's pretty much a no-brainer. Analog to analog and digital to digital. Can't do digital out to analog inputs, correct?
