Very interesting, Rob, thanks.
You say about the use of a RME Quadmic with an R4. I don=B4t know if
someone proposed this before in this Forum.
What makes me think that one of the most helpful things in this Forum
could be a list of the equipment used or tested by the members, and
it=B4s goods and bad aspects and experiences.
This could be, I=B4m sure, a valuable reference for all.
Thanks,
Hugo.
