hard disk recorder

I am trying to find out if the FOSTEX D2424LV will link to the 9pin ADAT synch so that I can hook it up to my Frontier Designs Sound Cards, ADAT sync as you all know is extremely reliable time code.

I have a pair of Foxtex D2424 which I've used for the last two years to record dozens of projects successfully, some with both decks locked together for 48 tracks. I always use an external box to generate wordclock, and typically fly in 16 or 24 tracks of ADAT using Steinberg 8IO converters and occasionally use the first 8 analog input with with 16 digital inputs.

I also posted this over at the 3dB board, but I do not think many of you hang out there.

Hi all, I am getting ready to go the rack mount HD recorder route & am looking the Fostex & Alesis Models (Mackie's is simply outta range $$$).



From what I can see so far on Alesis's site, I like the HD24.

But, I have heard people mention that the Fostex D2424 series are really good bang for the buck & sound superior.

Has anyone tried out the Bertsch DPR32 hard disk recorder ? Would love to hear your comments on this ? Any ideas on how it compares to the Euphonix R-1, etc.?
