Title: Piccolo
Post by: BCostigan on May 31, 2004, 05:23:11 PM
Found this on the oade board and am thinking of getting one instead of an SBM-1.  Looks pretty sweet!

I saw that...looks pretty neat.......withut knowing the sound, the two things that the sbm1 has an advantage over it in are the fact that you can adjust levels on the sbm and it runs off internal batts.....that being said, I would still be interested in hearing what it sounds like...

DOh!! :-\

I got all excited and forgot it was a DAC.....the good news is hopefully they'll build a similar size ADC soon. :P

You may wanna read the whole thread.  Now they're talking about adding phantom power and all this other stuff...

I think it'd be good as just an ADC, especially if it'll do 24/96+.

I think so too...kick ass little ADC along the lines of an sbm-1.  Add your favorite small pre and it would be a great small stealth setup.
