Hi All,
I noticed on the Apogee site that they are now shipping firewire cards to replace the USB cars in the Mini series. Has anyone tried one of these yet?

whats the big thrill? I can see before there was spdif based portable 24 bit recorders people were using lappys for 24bit, and maybe for dat transfers back in the day but what is the use otherwise? Then firewire over usb... what is the big thrill there?

no big thrill, just personal preference ;)
Oh, and I still lappy tape in clubs occasionally, when I want to web surf between sets. ;D
We also offer dat and cassette (and r2r and vhs and high 8 and.....) transfer services so I use the minime in that capacity also.

ok as I expected... ;D I'm very close to getting a minime. So far that is the best compliment I have heard for the 930's (thanks to you Jon), and the only thing holding me back is the desire for the perfect all-in-one box or maybe a 4track so I can have another flavor for whatever omni's I end up with.

Well, Matt, I think you are right about this combo. It is slick! Got a sample to go in team beyer here shortly. Simply amazed (again).
Back to the minime discussion.....

My main interest is that the firewire interface will allow 96 KHz signals while the USB interface is bounded at 48 KHz.

Exactly... I still tape with a lappy and I can't send a 96khz signal through USB or through my VX Pocket... This Firewire interface would allow that. I doubt I'm going to take the plunge, but there is definately an advantage to it.

Mini-me / apogee how I love thee.

Just curious how much to upgrade a used mme?
-
man... I'm so done with lappy taping. More power to you guys, but that is a lot pulling a lappy out at a show IMO. USB has enough bw for 24/96, why not on the minime, and the minime does 24/96 through the coax, doesn't in?

it does and via the aes/ebu as well. maybe i't a hardware issue? minimes have usb 1.1 -- usb 2.0 has more bw than fw 400...unless they're moving to fw 800?
