I'm aware of some Sony prototype gear, an editing system called Pyramix, and Sonic Studio, and I don't imagine that any of those would sell just the hardware or open up the specs of the hardware for writing drivers. Additionally, is there even a standard yet that would be the DSD equivelent of AES or S/PDIF? -- Joshua D. Boyd jdboyd@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.jdboyd.net/ http://www.joshuaboyd.org/
