whichever one you can get your hands on, as oade doesn't do the mods for them anymore, unless the original ua5 was purchased from him...

yeah, i know that... but i figured there may be some on the market in the next year or so due to the new HD recorders rolling out.  ;)

maybe i should just splurge for a R4??

I think that would be a wiser desicion.  I'm considering one myself... or a 722, but it won't be for a while...

yeah...  how is the a/d in the r4?  might be worth it to just go and get the all in one box and pick up some mics somewhere...

Isn't Oade planning on mods for the R4?  I read somewhere about a combination TMOD/WMOD for the two sets of channels.

that would be interesting...  hmmm

but how would the sbd sound running through one of those mods (for a matrix)?
