Topic: Tascam DR100mkii Review

[nickgregory]

so just got one of these and I see in this thread there was some talk to making a right angle plug connector for the digi in...did anyone ever do that or find a source for one?

And I have a new set of 2700 nimh batteries that work in other devices for some reason the dr100 won't power off of. I flipped the menu setting to nimh on the batter type screen and it still doesn't work.  Any ideas?

There's this:

As you can see, you can just plug a coax digital cable into it. I use an rca male-to-male adapter on it to plug into my USBPre2 coax out, and it works.

Someone less lazy than me would put a right angle rca plug on the end.

Has anyone tried V3 AES out to the S/PDIF input on a DR100mkii?  Any issues with this setup?

I haven’t run my old DR100mkii for 5-6 years, but I used to get about 40 minutes with AA batteries. A simple 5V usb external battery should give you a few hours.

Thanks for your reply. So you mean a powerbank ?
 
Thanks

Yes, a power bank battery. I had a handheld one about the size of a bar of soap that I used. Larger sized battery will give you more runtime.
