I don't know anything about the 671's meters.  Nickspicks said the R4 meters aren't ideal, but he got used to them after a few uses.  He's got a review of the R4 up on his website (www.nickspicks.com).

I think Nick makes a great point about the R4 here:

"What will be really cool, is when the Oade Brothers start to offer their MODs for it. A warm mod on one stereo pair, transparent on the other."

I don't know if that's really possible, but it would be sweet as hell.

ive seen the r4 in person and have read nicks review. that said, the r4's meters really suck. not ideal is putting it nicely.

The UA-5 meter sucks, but it's a great f'n box   ;)  At least the R4 has more than just a peak light.

he says he will be offering mods to the r4 in the future but that due to the limited availability of these units, he has not worked out what mods he would make. So you can't feed the 671 a signal from a v3 and get 24/96???

Sure, you could run V3 xlr analog out to the 671, no?

but no digital signal?

Nope.  Digital is only upto 24/48.  From the Oade site:

Analog - 16 bit
48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16, 12, 11.025, 8 kHz (PCM)
48, 44.1, 32, 24, 22.05, 16 kHz (MP3)
48, 44.1, 32 kHz (MP2)
Analog - 24 bit
96,88.2, 48, 44.1,kHz (PCM)
Digital : 48, 44.1kHz

Edit: Outdated date.  It will accept 24/96 digital as confirmed by JasonSobel.

yeah but at least the ua5's peak light is time accurate and you know it is right around -3dB.

the metering on the R4 is possibly the worst metering i've seen on any audio device ever!

this is WRONG, and old data.

if you look at the Marantz website, and I have confirmed with marantz techs when the product first came out, the PMD-671 will accept a 24/96 S/PDIF signal.  when it first came out, there was some confusion, but just to clear up any mis-understanding, it will take a 24/96 digi signal.

You da man!  I stand corrected!  That's excellent news.  Now if you could run 4 inputs that would be awesome.   +T

I also run a "stock" 671 and can confirm that it will record 24/96 through the spdif input, as I personally have done it coming out of a V3.  Now with that being said, until 8 gig cards drop way down in price, I'll mostly be recording at 24/48..... which still sounds pretty frickin nice.

+ts all around. I was reading the specs and that was the 1 question about the digi in that I just couldnt figure out. The way it looked was it was 24/48

I might just have to get this then sell off my UA-5 and VX Pocket. It would make lidfe so easy. The MT jsut seems to be a little to touchy and I drink too much for that :)
