anyone know?

[F.O.Bean]

been wondering the SAME thing jonny, looks hella suite tho

i trust firewire anyday over usb so this could be cool

[caymanreview]

i just ordered mine, and can do a 410 vs. vx pocket test when i get it, im sure

[jpschust]

dustin lemme know when you've got some results.

[caymanreview]

right on man, i ordered it yesterday and it will ship ups          (i think ups) tomorrow, i can do a test as soon as i get it

hopefully this thing is bulletproof with my picturebook via firewire, then the vx pocket is outta here also

[jpschust]

yah if it works well im gonna get one for my powerbook

Well Dustin ordered the Firewire 410, not the Firewire Audiophile, right?  Two different animals.

i sure hope the firewire audiophile is bit perfect.  i've been using it as an interface between the V3 and the lappy for a couple months now and, if anything, it's much more stable than the 410.  if you're just looking to pass a 24 bit signal to your laptop, then the fw audiophile is the way to go, IMHO.

[caymanreview]

ahhh, yes i bought the 410  not the audiophile, my mistake

[jpschust]

jef, would you be willing to test the audiophile for bit perfectness?

[radioboy1977]

how would i go about doing that?

[jpschust]

do you have a dat deck or one you can borrow?

[radioboy1977]

i can probably get my P1 back from bean.

[jpschust]

got a better solution.  take a dat, clone it.  then someone does a transfer using a known bit perfect source, you do a transfer using the audiophile, then put the wavs side by side

you only need to do about 20 minutes max.  that will probably be good enough

[radioboy1977]

i don't have any way to make a DAT clone.  i'd be happy to send you or anyone else one of my masters to do a clone and transfer.  let me know.
