what would be gained by this? doesn't the Oade digimod allow for all digital outputs to be hot (from analog input) ?
I cant imagine running digi in to a UA-5 for any reason other than laptop recording w/a different A/D feeding the UA-5, or for DAC purposes..in which case digital output is not needed.
I use a Nomad 3 (optical in) and would like to patch out of DAT chains. Right now, the ONLY device that allows me to do this is the CO2 (which sucks ass). I could use a digital format converter like the Hosa ODLs, but they do not pass the digital coax, just convert one to the other.
And yes, the digi-mod will run all the digi-outs hot from the analog in, but when you switch to digital input, it only outputs to the USB.
It took me several attempts to explain this even to Doug, so I'm not surprised you are confused...
So, for me, and the oterhs that use the UA5, I would like to be able to take a Sony 7-pin/digital coax output, run it into my UA5, run my Nomad out the optical, and pass the coax to the next machine in the chain. I would like 1 device that does this as well as all the regular UA5 features, makes for 1 thing to carry in the field rather than 2 - the UA5 and a separate convertor.
So yeah, basically, I'd like a CO2 mod on my UA5 - except without all the asociated CO2 problems...
