ok so i just won an auction on ebay for a tcd-d3 dat W/RMR-D3 digital/optical i/o piece...i intend to just use ot for patching, would that be a safe assumption? i should be able to take and send a digital signal with it...i hope.
anyways, this will be my first experience with DAT as i am currently a laptop 24-bit guy, so this will just be an extra deck, mostly to take to bonnaroo (i'm 90% sure i will go) to tape side acts while my rig is going at another stage. but i would also like to keep this around to patch into other gear and hear how it sounds, have a light package to bring into shows when i'm lazy, etc.
anyone have experience with these, and what's the best (and least expensive!) way to keep them powered during shows?
thanks for the help!
