Good stuff

I bought this to copy high quality open reel tapes, but it works great playing back dsd files on SD, CF, and flash drives. There is a lot to like for a cool grand. I hope this unit is discovered by audiophiles.

Digitize Vinyl with ease

I use this to digitize vinyl albums and it's ease of use and flawless operation make this a very enjoyable process

Machine is very easy to use

Purchased to make digital archives of analog formats. Machine is very easy to use. One caveat is the FAT32 file system will split your recordings at 2GB. At the best quality setting DSD128 files will be broken up every 25 mins. When recording to wav files, that's not a problem because you can combine the tracks on a computer. I don't know of any computer program to combine dsd tracks.

Easy to operate and does everything I expected it to ...

Easy to operate and does everything I expected it to do for me. No more LP to CD to up-convert. Now I can go straight from LP to 192K/24bit wav file.

which is why it's superior.

Everything you need for any stereo formant except CD, which is why it's superior.

Great Audiophile digital recorder.

I had this for long time and the recordings done with this are great. only problem i found is the headphone output has a little bright sound so if you want to use this as audiophile player buy a external head-amp

Great Sonics/Easy to use...

Outstanding fidelity and very easy to use. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Awesome for Ripping Vinyl Records

This unit is freaking amazing! I use it to rip vinyl records. This unit makes the process so easy. I rip my vinyl with this unit at 24/188.4 onto an SD Memory Card (it also accepts compact flash memory). I don't have to set up a laptop near my entertainment area and fiddle around with the capture or anything! That right there is way cool. After I rip the album to the SD Card, I run it over to my old school (desktop) computer and slip it into the USB reader. Then I move the files onto my hard drive. Once there, (again, they are at 24/188.4 PCM) I use the program "Clickrepair" (set at 1 for most LPs to do minimal repairing). It reads these files just fine (it wont read FLAC files at 24/192 though). After Clickrepair does it's thing, I open the files in Adobe Audition 3.0 or Audacity and cut off the excess at the start and end of each LP side and then label each track. Lastly, amplify them to -0.4 dBs. Then I convert/dither and label each song to 16/44.1 (WAV) so my car can read them. The ADC in this unit is top notch. I've heard the Korg is a tad better by some pros, but the features in this unit far outweigh any very minor shortcomings. The files/CDs I burn usually sound better than their CD counterparts (depending on the condition of the LP ripped). So even though car systems are crap, it's nice to have some of that 'vinyl sound' with me on the road... It's not the fastest process in the world to do, but it's a fun hobby either way. It helps keep me out of trouble and I couldn't be happier. Money well spent!

Five Stars

terrific recorder- stable and reliable, with an abundance of inputs and outputs; I love the removable media
