GREAT!

Now i have an 8 channel recording device that is really
going to put a damper on things for a while...
I guess i need to open up the piggy bank and
shell out 900 bucks for the mytek sooner than i thought.
I wish i could write the f word in caps a hundred times.
Thats how i feel right now.
I hope everyone who is interested in the BLA mod
reads this before going for it. This really sucks.
To shed some light on this, my understanding as to why it's difficult to do this, especially with the BLA Mod, is that BLA downclocks the converter as part of their process in improving resolution, strangely enough. (I.E. 44.1 is really something lower.. like 43.8 though I'm not exactly sure what the exact rate is). as a result, because of the obviously wider than normal deviation from a standard sample rate, doesn't play nice with externally sync'd sources.

As always, it's possible that I'm incorrect, but this is what I was told by a reputable source.
