The ADC in the R1 smokes the MTs

Another thing to look at is reliability.....The MT is all over the place with issues and problems. more people than not seem to have some kind of issue.  It seems like the R1 has worked  right out of the gate....no digi input , but the darn thing works....I'll take that anyday....................

Will Doug eventually do a mod for the MT?

It has been elluded to on doug's site, but I dont think there is anything offical as of yet.

I agree completely.

I talked to Doug a bit about the MT mod when I was purchasing my modded R1. He was telling me that he couldn't do much to improve the 1/4" inputs on the MT, that the design of the phantom power circuitry fed a huge amount of noise into the inputs and that a mod to the circuit was useless. I believe the mod they are working on for the MT is to improve the 1/8" mic inputs, but I have no particulars on that. I think he was waiting on M-Audio to improve the firmware first.

right now the R1 looks like the better choice to make.  Once the optical input issue is resolved on the MT that might become a geat option for a portable recording device.
