Alesis masterlink arrived


Just thought I would post my findings on this recorder.
Though this may be a little early but with the little recording I have done so far have to admit there is no comparison between vinyl and red book cd's. As for the higher resolution it does get a little better.
My next move will be to try connecting the unit with balanced cables, this should make a difference.
Any advice is welcomed.
By the way with the higher resolution what players will support this format, it's 96/24. They call it cd24.
Thanks.

Agreed with the vinyl comparison on a stock unit. Much better on a properly modded one.
I used a Masterlink as a transport for a while with great results. However, mine was modified by Paul Weitzel at TRL who uses a Masterlink for mix downs of recordings he makes. According to Paul the analog inputs and outputs are the weak links of this unit. Digital in and out is the way to go.

For $750 Paul will modify a Masterlink and take it to another level altogether.
