I was just drooling over it myself.  It would be perfect for my rack.

Can the MR-2 be far behind?!

Will the MR-2000S support DSD Wordclock sync or only PCM?   Also does  the SPDIF support DSD (would doubt it as I have always seen 2 Coax Jacks for DSD Digital IO)?

SPDIF cannot carry DSD data so, it is either converted before processing or or reduced afterward somehow.

The wordclock and S/PDIF are for the multi-bit PCM formats only.

DSD digital transfers are a protocal called S-DIF 3.

We are showing a very preliminary syncing of 4 units using the S/PDIF connections for a proprietary communication. So we're running a 8-track system (4 units), we can start, stop, locate and even arm recording using this. It's VERY preliminary and won't be part of the system at time of shipping later this month. But it's a hint of where we plan to go.

+T Sounds exciting!   I'd love to be able to run Double MS DSD or B-Format DSD in the field someday - or even just standard 4 channel DSD!

Yeah, saw it Saturday with 4 units sync'ed. Very cool! Super styling too.

I do not get it, why are you guys so enthused about 1-bit DSD when good old 24/96 PMC gives better sound quality and is easy to edit? SACD is not about better resolution, it is about copy protection. Have you ever looked at DSD (SACD) frequency spactrum, there is nothing but antialiasing noise above 22 KH, 24/96 gives 144 dB dynamic range up to 45 KHz (if only mics and electronics could deliver and anybody hear it...).

My ears disagree with your supposition that noise above 22khz present in a DSD recording negatively effects the recording.  All delta-sigma converters start out with a DSD type stream and then decimate.  DSD removes that requirement.  I've been recording DSD since 2004 and haven't looked back.

petrus start another thread for your dsd tears.
this is about a wonderful new dsd option available
for the people who use dsd and know they love it.

pcm 24/96 is an ex option to use, use it
happy captures to you petrus
