So is there a mic preamp with phantom power and an optical out? I supposte that's what the v3 w/optimod is. Anything else out there?
I think he meant is there any other external preamp/AD combo options out there besides the V3...The only other one I can think of is the Edirol UA-5 which people have been using optical into JB3's for a long time with much success.

Anything else out there?Just for clarity's sake, there's no such thing as an analog mic preamp with a digital output. The presence of a digital output on an analog preamp, by definition, means it's a preamp and analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Might seem like a petty distinction, but I'd hate to see a newbie read some of the posts on TS and buy a preamp (without ADC) and expect it to provide a digital output.

Regarding the CKL-PCMD50 case, I found a couple of pictures, mainly on Japanese sites. Full compass is offering it as special order for about $50. Looks like a Palm cover on roids to me. Edit: Personally, I like the Zing bag mentioned here already. Once we know that fits, I hope to get one asap. The Crown Royal bag is working for now.2nd Edit: Here's the CKL-PCMD50 case on Ebay

Has anyone gotten it to take digi-in at 24/96, and are there any tricks to that?JeffThis concerns me. I was going to opt for this recorder because of digi-in and 24/96, but if I can't get 24/96, I might as well opt for a used JB3 in the Yard.Can any other owners chime in?The manual on page 28 states that linear PCM 44.1/44.0/96 kHz digital signals can be accepted for digital recording. I don't have any thing that will give out that signal to test. Is that pro studio sending out linear PCM signal?

Gotcha, no problem. I was just looking it up for my own info and posted it. The only optical out I have is from a DVD player and I don't think it will output that depth/rate. Since I only have an analog preamp, it's not a concern for me at this time on my low end of the chain
