All the errors on my ad2402 (ad2k) test were at intervals of 17.75 sec, not 19.3

but my test was at 48K, that would correspond to the same number of samples as 19.3@ 44.1K, so actually ~27263.232 kb is the interval

that's good news they answered you, and gave you a honest answer. I think you can't hope too much: 24/96 now belongs to the pro market, this means at least five times the price of the consumer/prosumer market Archos belongs to. They won't develop a feature very few people will use, or they wil sell it and this will be very expensive.
Did someone tested it with the ad 20? How does it "react"?

On Tuesday night, I recorded a whole show with the archos from the AES out on the V3.  I was running my D8 out of the RCA S/PDIF.  I did the whole show at 48kHz.  and while I haven't compared the two sources in detail yet, there are glitches throughout the archos recording.  at intervals of approximately 18 seconds, this corresponds to Jamie's findings of 17.75 seconds for 48kHz...  I was planning to run line-in for the second set, but it was a lot more crowded than it usually is , and I didn't really have the time or space to switch things up, so I haven't done any analog in recordings yet...

and it seems like a good thing that you've got a dialog going on.  even if they don't want to improve it with 24/96 or  gapless playback, I'd be happy if the get the bugs out of the recording...

In your emails, Jamie, have you forwarded them the url for this thread?  maybe they'd find it interesting to read what we've been talking about...

Here is a link to a group that is currently trying to hack the Gmini firmware. Im not sure if its the 120 or 220. You guys may want to contact them and see if they would be willing to help you bring the features you listed above to the Gmini 120.

The rockbox folks are good people. They've done some awesome firmware replacements for the Jukebox MP3 players and recorders. If anyone's going to write a new firmware for it my guess is it will be them.

They probably use a proprietary archetecture and ISA for their MP3 players and would probably be very hard for one of us techies to waltz into it and make anything work.  I bet we could break it really well tho ;)

what kind of firmware replacements have they did for the jb3, anything worthwhile looking at.  I think anything can be hacked to your liking, you just need the right people with the ambition to do it.  Seriously, if they can hack every game system on the market, why can't they hack an mp3 player.  Hopefully something comes out of all of this.  I really like the fact that the gmini is smaller than the jb3, however nothing at the moment makes me want to replace my jb3 with it.  However, i'd jump on it in a second if it did 24/96 or even if the price went down and it did 16/48 reliably.  I'd also give the the guy who cracked it a hug.

Check out the rockbox firmware for yourself. If you don't like it just delete the archos.mod file plus .rockbox dir & voila - yer back to the factory firmware.

Some notable fixes in the rockbox firmware versus the Archos ones:
real random play
better battery optimization
support for a whole shitload of mp3's & directories
Games, if you have the Jukebox recorder.

Here's the side by side comparison of features:

seems to me based on other's experiences  that the Neuros hd recorder people
would be easier to deal with in terms of updates since their project is open source.

anyone seen one of those at retail?

It still lacks a digital interface and uses outdated USB1.1 for transferring music.

I wander if they can make the USB a digital input for audio recording for their supported recorders (Archos Jukebox 5000, 6000, Studio, Recorder, FM Recorder and Recorder V2 MP3 players)?

I've noticed that some preamps have a USB out.

nah, not likely, you'd need a host system to attach to and i'm sure that those mp3 players aren't sophisticated enough to handle that....if anything could do it i'd guess it would be a pda
