What are you using as a digital interface now?  I am using the Stealth
interface DAI2400, and I plan to use it to record a stereo pair at a
time from my D-88 (no, I don't have one yet) into my NeXT to a program
like MetroTracks.  MetroTracks has not committed to supporting the
Stealth interfaces, but I don't see why they don't... they are
inexpensive and the adaptation would not be that difficult.  But who
knows? I haven't heard anything about their product really since the AES
show.  Maybe they are waiting for the new high-power NeXT box.  Rumored
to have a new audio system, allowing this type of work.

From the DA-88 side, you will probably have to buy their AES/EBU digital
I/O attachment, like you have to do with the ADAT.
