OK, I finally got a chance to sit down and play around with the unit this evening.  Just wanted to familiarize myself with the operations and try out all 8 channels with my 16g PNY class 4 SDHC cards.  I am really impressed with the unit so far and I am very much looking forward to using it in the field.  I hooked up my 460s, 480s, 451's and my ck1x > tiny box rig.  It looked so damn pretty I had to take a couple photos.

Nice rig.  Looking forward to hearing some samples sometime, Ted!
So, you've got the lttlebox feeding into the coaxial input on the dr-680?  What cable are you using for that?

Thanks.

ck1x > tiny box > V3 > dr680 digi input.  This set up was purely a test as I doubt 4 stereo mic pairs will be the norm for me.  My plan is to have the V3 digi in be the "center piece"  or work horse with the dr680 and use channels 1-6 for ambience omnis and sbd feeds.  I have found that taping into the bass guitar channel on the sbd really makes a recording pop.

Anyone know if the AA batteries can be hot-swapped on the DR-680?

Yup, you can hot swap an external battery or the internals as long as you have power to at least one of them uninterrupted.
