so you were going to get a sd722 and run 16/44.1?

I guess I wasn't clear.  I meant that I could dump stuff off the sd722 onto the laptop if I travel for a 3 night run or something...  like back at the hotel or wherever I am staying.

Or you could just dump stuff on to your iPod.  ;)

good point, forgot about that little bastard already.  t+

I heard they decided to build the case out of budweiser cans, and replace the gain knobs with recessed screw pots, to reduce production costs.  8)

I plan on running it that way most of the time. I'll eventually step up to 24 bit, though.

why not record at 24 bit and then dither for personal use now?  that way you'd have the 24bit files for later use.

Are you going to use the sd722 for a/d or are you going to send it a 20 bit signal from the adk?

Recording two channels at 24/96 requires a little more than 2GB per hour.  So 20GB would be good for 9+ hours of recording.

If you need more record time, substitute a 60GB 2.5 inch drive for about $150.  And don't forget the wheelbarrow to carry the battery you'll need to power up for 27+ hours!

I'll most definitely try the a/d out. We'll see how it sounds. Regardless, I'm still keeping the adk.  :)

one possible problem with the sd box run line-in is that gain is adjustable is 1/2 db increments.  i don't really want that stepped gain "click" in my recordings.  makes it awfully tough to run with a 148 or psp2.

I plan on ditching all gear and running the SD box's preamp and A/D.  I like one stop shopping.  A single box that does it all is a GREAT thing, and even though my stereo can easily tell me the differences between preamps and A/Ds, it wont kill me if I dont have other sources to hear.  How will I know what I'm missing if I just listen to my own recordings?
the secrete to taper bliss perhaps?
hmm....i should ponder that one

my whole reason for getting it is to drop tapes and be able to run 24/96.  but it's going to be a bummer in a festival environment if it doesn't have 40gigs.  then, at least you could get a full day on it and dump it at night.
we'll see, when it finally makes it to market.  i'll bet a bunch of people will drop in larger drives like they are with the jb3.  should we start a yahoo group already?  7xxtapers?

why not 24/48 then?  you get close to 20 hours at 24/48 at 20 gigs.  or some at 24/48, others at 24/96.  i would prefer 40 gigs as well, but it's not that big of a deal.
