I thought the USBPre2 could do all this? When you want to record digital out via usb, do you mean that you want to record to your computer?
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to preamps, so bear with me. Here are the key features I'm interested in:
* Portable
* Phantom power for two mics
* Digital audio out via USB
* Analog audio out
* Can output digital and analog simultaneously (so recording could be done via USB on one device and an analog in on another)
* Decent level meters (stereo linking of the two channels would be a nice bonus)
* Powered from battery or external power (ideally doesn't need to get power via the USB)[/li][/list]
I'm aware of the SD MixPre-D and USBPre2, but as far as I know neither of those have all of these features. I'd be happy if I'm wrong though.
What pres have all these features, so I can get a sense of the landscape?
