Hi Clint
You were asking about MS decoding, well I was passed this info from Sound
Devices about
a neat box made by Peter Engh. Take a look here:

I don't think you will go far wrong getting a Sound Devices MixPre, especially
judging by
all the praise that Sound Devices get from members of this group alone!
Regards
Phil
