Hi Marco,
That's a good test! I'm not hearing much difference between the two
sound samples.
So the preamp of the iRig doesn't really do anything, compared to
just adding a phantom power source, for small flash card recorders.
Another question though, is there a difference in sound quality for
iRig when using LINE IN vs MIC IN?
cheers,
Vicki
