Does anyone have it?
I always see these units badmouthed. Do they suck?
I don't own one, but there's quite a bit of anecdotal evidence of people experiencing problems, and some very controlled testing performed by Jamie Lutch indicating the unit has problems. Head over to the
NJB3 Yahoo Group to see his test results in the Files section. As MGB suggests, his results may be archived on Dat-Heads, too.
I use one with no obvious problems. We have even chained two together.
Great, glad it works for you. Personally, I wouldn't trust it - but if you're happy, that's what counts.
Has anyone done any tests similar to the recent tests on the RS COAX>TOS converter?
See above. Though IMO the
very brief testing of the RS DFC is not nearly enough IMO to declare bit-transparency.
It's also worth noting that I have seen at least 2 cosmetically different versions of the CO2.
Mine is black with yellow letters. My friend's is silver...a different case (same size)...different lettering. You have to wonder if they are also different inside...?
Could be different. Crack 'em open for us and find out?
The RS unit and the CO2 can't be radically different in the way they operate...just curious if there have been some conclusive tests done?
See above.
