Well, I feel a little inadequate because I don't have any DIGITAL test
equipment other than a scope that's just barely fast enough to look at
a 48 kHz clock. I don't have very much digital gear yet, so it's not a
big deal, but I'd like to be able to look at data coming out of a port
to see if it's really 24-bit, if dither is working right, if the
channel status bits are set the way I think they are, etc.

Interesting observation... I'm in the same boat. I still have a couple
of logic probes, but like you my o'scope really isn't up to the task for
modern digital interfaces.

I want a Neutrik Digilizer. I've been trying to get one to review ever
since they came out, but I guess the magazine I write for isn't
interested in reviewing something that makes you think very hard.

I'm torn actually... the Digilizer looks cool, and CRL labs had a little
digital audio analyzer that looked neat at a recent tradeshow... and the
nice thing about these specialized test sets is that they already know
how to recognize the necessary patterns, and do the math.

On the otherhand, a nice logic analyzer would be a lot of fun to play
withG...

However... even if you had an all digital studio do you think a
Digilizer would be as essetial as a signal generator and a meter are in
an analog studio? I suppose the day will come when they are.
