Topic: Has anyone run a V3 with the 722 ?

Edit:  Oh and another benefit of the V3 in front is that it can feed a 16-bit signal to patchers, if that is something you like to offer.

another advantage that the V3 has, in addition to the meters, is the ability to give a 16 bit S/PDIF output to patchers.  that may or may not be a consideration.

So the V3 will output an analog signal to the 722 that will be recorded at 24 bit, and by turning on the V3 "ANSR", the V3 will output a dithered 16 bit signal via the digital outs, correct?

exactly,  the analog outs on the V3 are directly from the pre-amp section and completely independent of the A/D of the V3.

Thanks, Jason.  +T

Don't know if it matters for your purposes, but note that V3's with serial # < V3497 have out of phase analog and digital outputs.

Thank Brian.  I just sent mine to Grace earlier this week.  +T

I've been basking in the single device glow of the 722..  How comparable is V2 > 722 vs. V3 line > 722?   I know that the V2 lacks the good meters of the V3, but that wouldn't matter with the 722 meters.

in theory, the V2 > 722 would be identical to the V3 (line out) > 722, because the V3 has the same pre-amp as the V2.  in actuality, Mike Grace had to change one or two minor parts in the pre-amp for the v3, so it is not absolutely identical to the V2.  in practice though, it is generally regarded as the same pre-amp.  another advantage that the V3 has, in addition to the meters, is the ability to give a 16 bit S/PDIF output to patchers.  that may or may not be a consideration.

I was thinking of the V3 when I started putting my new rig together but when a V2 became available it just made so much more sense. For about half the price I dispatched with a A>D that I wasn't going to use (sorry patchers) and meters that are redundant. I couldn't be happier with the sound though.

exact reason i sold my v3, now i need a v2 to compliment the sax tho

maybe post to the old thread to see if someone can rehost.

Or bump it into the archive under Open Source Audio.
