I super love the Electron Digitak. I dismissed it for years thinking it was a= n overpriced bit of luxury but, the Mk1 is now more affordable with the Mk2 c= oming out. Sonically and functional they are almost identical. Not tried it on my 303 but everything you put through the Digitak sounds bet= ter..
