i don't see why not.

so with open firmware the right mind could get this to accept 24/96 through spdif?

I don't see why not.  But considering no right mind stepped up to the plate to deliver artifact-free analog-in on the Neuros II, I wouldn't count on it happening.  And that's nothing specific to the Neuros devices - I wouldn't count on anything we want happening in the open source community, unless specifically a taper makes it happen.

good point about needing a taper to get this done the right way.

what I need to do is step away from the boards for a few months so we can get all these new recorders sqaured away. it seems like everytime I come here I get the urge to pick up something new!

A guy from Neuros is posting responses to comments over at the slashdot.  I'll try to lure him here.

it's not a replacement for a professional digital recording device, there are already a large number of products that serve this market well:

I think they are erroneous in suggesting that there are a large number of products. 3 or four does not a large number make.
Lack of s/pdif iput a brick does make.

S/PDIF input may still make the final cut:

S/PDIF (output yes, input- TBD)

This could actually be pretty sweet.  If their MSRP is $ 330 (20gb)/ $ 380 (40gb) actual selling price should be cheaper.  If it got to around $200 retail, had s/pdif in, supports flac and 24/96, this could be a sweet storage device!

nice update  +t

[johnw]

It would be very nice if they could include the digital input. It would be huge if it didn't resample the digital input.

Just jumped on this thread thanks to thegraciousgumbino   

Interesting details and I love the wiki board they are publishing.  Seems like we really are at the front door of a new age in recording gear. 

All I want is a reliable 24/96 RECORDER with a SPDIF RCA input..  Don't need pre-amps, mic-in's, adc's or anything fancy.

+T's on this product all around guys.
