Invitation to send your PRO to Paris

[Confused]

That's good news because I still prefer the AES/EBU input best (on my 1000 pro) and I particularly rate it much higher than any USB implementation that others seem to use.

Thanks.

I too think AES/EBU is the best input on the Pro and would rate it above USB, but this is based on experience of the Pro without the new OS board.  The key point here though is that the new OS board has a new implementation for the USB, so AES/EBU will stay the same, but USB should improve.  (presumably)  Of course, these are different protocols, one being synchronous, the other asynchronous, so the end result will be dependent on interaction with the particular source.  Maybe there will be ways to get extremely good sound via USB with the new OS board, time will tell.
