It goes lightyears beyond anything else that has come out since it has 2-channel 16-bit D-A converters, M56001 signal processing chip, 8-bit A-D converters (but you can attach a CD, RDAT or PCM unit to serve as outboard converters since it uses the AES standard). Computer music people are very excited about it, but I also imagine that there will be lots of interesting applications in DSP etc. Paul Lansky Music Department Princeton University paul@phoenix.princeton.edu
