To add to previous reply . .

I use RCA outs to a backup cassette recorder during recording, with headphone control fully CCW, it would appear the headphone control is for headphone output only.

I have previously used Grace Lunatec > RME Multiface at 96/24, and find MR-1000 using built in pre's as good or slightly better(cleaner). With newer high output mics, such as TLM103/MKH8040, input level about 10 o'clock gets a nice level on pipe organ and choral music, imho. This is with Gain switch in L position.

BTW I record DSD 5.8, then convert to 96/32bit with AudioGate program, then edit 96/32, SRC with r8brainPro to 44/16. Maybe someday there'll be a way to edit and burn DSD. I'll hang onto those files, since external hard disks are not too expensive.

Hope this helps,
Rick Z
