AC powered.
not sure if its stereo or not.  But I was just thinking how it must sound...and I think I got wood.

That looks sweet!  And check this out:

"Main output sample rates are 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192kHz, with a word length of 24-bits.

A simultaneous secondary output provides 44.1 or 48-kHz output with a switch selectable 16 or 24-bit word length resolution.  This output is intended for safety backup recordings.  The secondary output has the same quality as and is fully independent from the Main outputs in both sample rate and word length."

So run 24/192 and then simultaneously run 16/44 for patchers and making redbook cds -- cool.  Does look to be AC powered only.  Someone is going to need to develop a DC-power mod for this.

The gain structure looks kind of annoying too, plus if I'm reading it correctly, looks like max of +42 - not enough for some types of audience recording (I've been into the +50 range before).
