The modification is to bypass the analog outputs and access the digital bitstream going to the DACs. You should have switch-box.com do it for you. He is selling them all modified ready to go. When using the TASCAM no analog is used, the whole process is digital. The TASCAM is simply a USB sound card with coax S/PDIF in and out. It has no toslink and neither does the Clux. Any device that supports S/PDIF input up to what every speed you need over ASIO will work. The EMU 0404 comes with wavelab lite. None of the knobs are active when using straight S/PDIF input. The TASCAM does much more than just S/PDIF. I actually use it for 5 things. Yes TASCAM is connect via USB. Must be 2.0 USB to get above 48Khz. I use it an A to D converter for an FM Tuner to Digital Speakers. I use it as a Headphone Amp I use it as Computer to S/PDIF to Digital Speakers I use it as Analog Mic Preamp for doing Room Correct with Balanced Phantom Power Mic I use it to Record SACD's off the clux. Not bad for $130.00 The Clux and TASCAM will record bitperfectly. The only "loss" is the PS3 conversion from DSD to PCM. The Clux is not the only way. But the only way with a PS3. Any player that can be modified that does DSD to PCM DACs will work. The Clux will work for any player that does LPCM over HDMI for SACD. Anything that can record S/PDIF at 24/88.2 bitperfectly will work. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55729 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
