Topic: V3 + UA-5 --> laptop (four channel needed)

[live2496]

It seems like there is a need in the market for some type of multiple SPDIF to firewire device. That way people with two or more converters could get the audio recorded into a mac or windows laptop via firewire.

The MOTU Traveler might be able to do this. If the AES and SPDIF inputs are both independent and can be active at the same time.

I am thinking more in terms of a utility box with two SPDIF's (or more), firewire, and a driver for OSX and windows that captures the audio.

Agreed.

In the end I am trying to make a setup with a Macbook,  Motu Ultralite (found recently in ys) a Hosa OLd 276A (in ys too!) and then my Busman Mod UA-5 and my V3 (maybe using the analog out and then running the optical out into my D50) and then if I can get a board signal, running that into the Ultralite

Of course, I'll need to find me a sonic-sherpa to carry all this....

The R-44 is awful sweet!  Much better than hauling a laptop around with all the outboard gear. Find a low price then call Fullcompass and see if they will beat it. I got mine for $738.
