I use an outboard card reader USB 1.1. It took 53 minutes to transfer a little over 3 hours of audio this way.

DAW, is basically a computer optimized for audio with speakers and editing tools. As Bean said, Digital Audio Workstation.

Let me clarify: 3+ hours of 24 bit 48 kHz audio.
I will try the cable that came with the 671 and see if it goes any faster that way.

Doug e-mailed that the parts for the ACM still haven't cleared customs and mods will be delayed until after Jan. 1

That's too bad, I was curious to see how this thing sounded.

[sygdwm]

it sounds great w/ your favorite pre in front of it. 

[Chuck]

I'm thinking my favorite pre will be ACM

I just ordered a 671 from Oades, $830 shipped! He said the ACM mod will be ready in Jan. and that he is considering trying to leave the line-in intact if possible, but he's not sure yet.

Do you have a link to the battery you are using chuck?
