Sorry, I don't know anything about the Pro 6 model. If it doesn't have
any fancy DSP on it, then it will probably do bit for bit transfers.
But that's pure speculation on my part.
I have found no drawbacks to the Nightingale. I only use it for
recording to/from DAT or Minidisc, and it just works. Plain and
simple. What more could you want from it?
Yeah, toss the SBLive. Its onboard DSP makes it unsuitable for exact
digital transfers. And the fact that you can't bypass the DSP.
