mallen123: According to the guys who are in charge at Sweetvinyl, the next suite of features for the SC-2 will be out in late January or February. These should include track splitting and the ability to send the digitized files over your home network to a server or NAS. The hardware will not change. These are all downloadable software updates. So, if you trust them, you can buy the SC-2 now and wait for the updates. I had mine delivered without these features, since I run the SC-2 outputs to my CD recorder. So at least I benefit from the click processing. But I agree with you on the key importance of the track splitting feature. And I have said so to the folks at Sweetvinyl. Frankly, if the SC-2 did everything planned for it, but not the click filtering, I still would have wanted one!
I have digitized a few tracks with the SC-2 onto a thumb drive at 192/24 FLAC. As far as I can tell, they came out well, but my system only can handle 96/24 right now, and the ability to digitize at intermediate resolutions between Red Book and 192/24 is also a future upgrade at this time. So I listen through my laptop and entry-level Grado cans.
The album recognition feature works fairly well, but it is not perfect. There are planned upgrades that will allow editing of meta data, and submission of corrections to Sweetvinyl in the future.
I will post here if there any firmware or software updates to my SC-2.
