Hi, this product is kinda interesting for a MD owner like me but how "better" is it from my current SBLive! + Digital I/O card? I'm using the SPDIF output which connects to the Digital Input of my MD player.

Now they got this analogue product and there are critisms, I'm kinda lost n confused....

Does anyone have an idea with the DG1 will appear and approximately how much $s?

Also, what version of Windows is required for the USB Plug & Play Stuff to work correctly?

You need Windows98, or you need to get the USB extensions for Win95 (make sure you have all the service patches). I can't remember where to get the USB extensions for Win95, but I bet you can search for it at www.microsoft.com

The DG1 is on the cusp of being released, and my guess is that it will be $20-30 more than the AN1 (don't quote me on this . Actually I'm a little excited about the DG1 as well, but I'm not sure if Xitel is sending us anything for review, because they say that the DG1 is identical to the AN1 in terms of quality of recordings. I'm going to push for it because I've been getting some emails on that too.

krank:

Regarding the SBLive + Digital I/O. I'm not sure I follow why the SBLive would do it like that. Doesn't the Digital I/O card connect to the SBLive directly? If so, then the SBLive will pass the music in raw digital format to the Digital I/O, which is then passed as raw digital format through the SPDIF. You don't get any D-A conversions until it hits the MD recorder (er... maybe not even then. I'm not too clear on how MD's record. I assume that the good ones can keep the signal digital and convert it to ATRAC directly like that).
