Digidesign Mbox 1 Standalone Mod
« on: July 10, 2025, 09:02:21 AM »

We can conclude that digidesign made focusrite design a USB powered Preamplifier with A/D conversion, but that option was never revealed.

Some say the Pre are atrocious, but still, is a Pre.

For guys that started with an M-Box and jumped to a TDM is a gift. Even on 16 bits 888 the SPDIF is 24 bits, and you have your first Pre, ready.

And that only with a harddrive jumper.  8)

Have only briefly scanned that mod link — but wonder if the jumper
might also include a small “switchable” switch for reversing the mod?

Still an interesting idea. Thanks. ;)

You could put a switch in the jumper to activate standalone mode
