DIY (sort of) 4 ch. playback from a 744

I just use the hell out of my 744s (the "Telecaster" of file recorders), but a situation came up where I needed 4 discrete analog outs of the 4 channels to be able to do a quick mix during playback of some takes (be able to drop channels out, change level relationships). The 744 has only 1 2-chan analog output bus. A long while back I mentioned the Gefen DIGAAUD DAC--which will take the AES out of the 744's Output bus #2 (digital only) and convert it to analog (while running on DC--w/ supplied PSU or a homebrew battery pack w/ 4 AAs). This worked out great yesterday--I got my 4 analog outs with each channel split out. The Gefen box is cheap and tiny--a little over an inch square. Sounded good.
