Title: Are there units being tested now?
Post by: Popmarter on June 29, 2004, 03:24:55 AM

Or should i just buy a Neuros or a JB3?

remember that the Neuros doesn't and probably won't have a digital input for quite some time.  just an fyi in case you throw an ad-20 or sbm-2 into your rig.

I think the IRiver and Archos Gmini 120 can record in wav but neither are suited for taking a digital input either.

hmm looks nice....what can it do  :o

all i really care for is the levels/being able to record error-free for 3 hours max in wav. And not to expensive. analoge in is good enough. preferably a mic & line in.

Honestly, the JB3 is probably better/cheaper, but I have my reasons for the Neuros.

You can get the Archos 120 for 160 bones and it does great line in and records for 5+ hours and has levels and is really really small and built like a brick

It still has some probs with digital in though, right?

side to middle
