I find that, even when transfering 128K MP3 to MD, it is best to use digital I/O so further degradation does not occur. Analog sound cards often have a much poorer S/N ratio than the original MP3 file, and they often have frequency response or phase shift errors at low frequencies due to

I have done more experimentation regarding the analog input levels on the JE520. I have come to the conclusion that the "over" indicators do not accurately report ADC clipping if the input gain is set to less than 0.0. In fact, in most cases, no amount of input signal will light the "over"
