I too have a RDS 7.6 but my concern isn't as much increasing the RAM in the
unit, thus potentially causing a loss of resolution, as much as it is
lowering the S/N ratio of the unit.  Given incorrect levels of
input/output, and the longest setting for the loop length, one can get an
incredible - though removable - amount of hiss.  This is fine for studio
stuff, but not the live material...

Any thoughts on this, fellow RDS owners/operators?
