Hello, I know that the issue has been touched in many places here and also in GS.
But I haven't come across any constructive answer as to how to solve the problem.
In a nutshell: My Audient Mico is not communicating properly with the Tascam DR-680 (Busman Mod) regardless which sampling rate I chose.
"DIN unlock" message.
As I got the TC Electronic Impact Twin work well with DR-680 I suspect that the problem is trather on some incompatibility of the SPDIF protocolls used.
I tried to use the AES output of the Mico through a Neutrik NADITBNC-FX transformer, but this also didn't work.
In a e-mail from Audient they tell me they know the problem but can't come up with a solution for the units that are currently in use.
If they have a language problem (and I gather from different contributions that this is also the case with some other preamps equipped with digital outputs), there should be an inline 'translator' that translate one SPDIF dialect into the other... I know, a naive idea, but why not. Somebody knowledgeable in digital communication protocolls should be able to programm a little chip for that!
But seriously, has anybody come up with a working solution for this?
And other way round: Is there a really good sounding preamp with digital output that communicates well with the DR-680 (practically proven)?
best
Robert
