Another thing I would like to know is if it has active electronics between the line input and the gain control. As many of us have learned, unlike the good old portable DATs of old like the D10, SV255, Portadat, DA-P1, etc. that had no pre-gain active electronics on the line stage, most of the file based recorders of today are cursed with this problem. Using a DA-P1, for example, you could feed it a line signal so hot that the gain was dialed down to "2", and as long as the meters did not peak into "over", there was no recorder overload distortion.
Unfortunately with most of today's flash recorders, this is not the case. A hot input, even with recording levels showing well below "0", you can end up with a distorted recording because the load on the active electronics before the gain control clipped them. If this unit does not have that problem and can accept any line signal no matter how hot, this will make it able to take a typically hot SBD feed without issue, and I would love that.
