It's perfectly possible to capture digital transport streams from digital sources like DAB/satellite etc in their transmitted format, i.e. mp2. Thus attaining a perfect copy of the audio sent.
By the way the mad decoder used in rockbox plays MPEG1 or 2 layer 1 or 2 (e.g. mp2) without problems. So you could even rip the audio stream from a video DVD or a VCD and play it on the iriver. AC3 a.k.a a52 or dolby digital plays too. :-)

I'm using my iriver H 120 to record digital radio from my skysat satellite receiver via optical in. I works fine as long as I choose "Dolby Digital" as output. The player doesn't seem to record AC3 - I can just hear cracking. My DVD Player seems to be copy protected - I get cracking too even if sound output is set to "dolby digital".So it works - with some limitations.
Quote from: whatboutbobApologies for my ignorance (and possibly dumbarse question), but is it technically possible to record 24 bit/96 kHz to the iriver (and therfore within rockbox's realm)? No, 20bits/44.1kHz is the best the hardware can do.

did you notice that the rockbox manual for H 120 devices reads:3.9.2"Source: Choose the source of the recording. This can be SPDIF (digital), microphone or line in. For recording from the radio see page 20" ?I hope they mentioned it to let us know that optical recording will be implemented soon.
The recording screen is nowhere near finished...Have a look HERE for a load of, as yet, uncommitted upgrades...I don't know about the optical in though...I'm sure it will eventually get done although I personally cant think of any point in it...Surely if you already have a digital source, you are better off re-encoding it using a computer instead of doing it real-time through the optical in? Or maybe there is something else you could use it for that I haven't thought of...?? :-)
