These are good leads - thanks - exactly what I was looking for.
I ran a v3 for years, but recently picked a new (used) one up in the yard sale (I used to run v3 > microtrack (via SPDIF)).
Due to the limited availability of recorders with a digital in, I was kicking around the idea of running the v3 using the balanced analog XLR outputs > the xlr inputs on a mixpre ii.
I am wondering if the results would be the same as a v2 > mixpre.
May make for a heavier bag and some extra interconnects, but I can tough it out for a show or two.
