Er, what? ... Do you mean yours has Digital _In_ via USB? I was actually doing research on this the other day, looking around minidisc.org, and I wasn't able to find _one_ modern (ATRAC 3.5+) portable OR deck with any kind of digital output (USB, Optical, SPDIF, whatever). Real disappointing... Did I miss something? I actually purchased an Archos Jukebox Recorder (MP3 w/ 20 Gig HDD) in hopes of finally ditching MD, but ended up taking it back. Not only does it not have a Mic level input (just line. you'd need an expensive preamp to get anything sounding acceptable), but it's overall recording quality was crrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppppppppppp. Highly NOT recommended. --nm On Wed, 29 Jan 2003, Albers, Brian wrote:
