Don't be too upset if your lead tech suggests an external DAC as opposed to modifying the Tascam's DAC and signal path, he's only trying to be helpful.
It's possible, it might not be practical, but don't let that deter you from at least exploring the possibilities.
That would of course be the most logical step and pretty much the easiest thing to do, but that's not what I am after in all this. I've mentioned all of this to him and he knows that's not what I'm trying to do.
We are really paying too much attention to this topic though. It's very much second hand to me and not nearly as serious as this thread has made it out to be.
Sorry everyone!
I've been banished to my office due to the batchelorette (sp?) party going on at my house tonight. So I've just been catching up on some e-mails and posting a few random ideas here. I think they have just left to go out for the evening so I am free to enjoy my own house again!
