How can you lock your Gina at multiple samples rates while slaved to 
the MP7?  Its impossible.  When you slave the Gina to the MP7 the 
Gina will show whatever the MP7 gives it.  So there is no way you 
could be trying different rates will slaved, it just doesnt work that 
way.  
If you have gotten the MP7 to work with other units and not slaved 
either side then you will get little pops here and there, probably a 
lot more subtle than what you are hearing now.  But no two clocks are 
exactly the same, even if they are both at 44.1k, the will go 
slightly off and thats what you need to have one slaved to the other 
so they can be exactly the same (except for errors caused by jitter).
Perhaps your DAT autoslaves when recording from a digital source and 
that's what you havent noticed them there.

Sounds like there *is* some compatiblity problem here.  I used to get 
that when I connected my DAT to an old hardware DAW sometimes.  There 
was a setting I had to engage, but I can't remember now.

Hopefully Echo can clear up the problem.  You will need to figure out 
how to slave it properly though for best results once they figure out 
the cause for the noise.
