It's an ugly little thing, isn't it?

I bet it sounds great though. Wonder what that "quality: low/high" switch on the back does...

It has 2 templates to pre-set the recording sample and bit rate.
You can set them to ..say.. 44.1/16bit and the other to 96k/24bit, or whatever you like.
Just use the switch on the back.

Oh, I like that. Lost count of the number of times I've had to hurriedly navigate the menus to swap sample rate on the M10 just before a band hits the stage.

Then again, I think I'd be tempted to set both 'high' and 'low' to the same setting in case the switch got flipped in my pocket...

You could do that, but the switches are not easily moved, plus if it's like the SD version, it comes with a "leatherette" cover so only the hold switch is visible.
I have the SD version......and want for no other handheld. :P
Doesn't have a limiter, just the switchable AGC.
Menu very similar to RO9HR.... really easy.

This is interesting..
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/901495-REG/Nagra_LINO_Professional_Handheld.html

It's a down-rated Nagra SD by the looks of it.

The same body with less options on the back and fixed mics instead of the plug-in options of the SD.

Very nice at the price.

But as I already have the SD, I won't be getting one.

Looks cool, possibly an upgrade to my Tascam units.  Only problem I see is one might unknowingly have the quality switch on mp3 and accidentally change to that during recording.

That's no problem because you wouldn't program those to MP3, would you?
It is more than possibly an upgrade from Tascam... or Sony combined.

Not having xlr inputs, this unit has to be compared to Edirol R09hr or Sont pcm-m10.  For the price is sensibly highier I think some things should be made clear:

1) Ho do sound the mics?
2) How are internal mic pre's ?
3) line in quality in terms of circuitry and AD conversion? If AD conversion would prove to be  sensibly better than other pocket recorders, then a littlebox or whatever external pre we could use would give better result.
4) Max input line signal accepted is +17 db. What it means in terms of nominal level; can it handle hot signals as the R09hr can?
5) Minijack plug is always the weak point in terms of reliability ( remember old edirol r-09 issues); will the Lino exibit much more solid connections or not. Even being the best piece of gear in the world, an external signal would always pass through there...
6) Powering options; all other portable unit offer the possibility of AC powering. This one don't. Is it possible to power it from usb port or it is only for file transfer?

Any report?
thanks

Might as well buy the OEM gear.

This is a Chinese unit, which seems to be used by AEQ as well.

http://www.aeq.eu/products/digital-portable-recorder

We should figure out which Chinese factory makes the thing and buy 100 of them, and get them branded as the TS.com DAR1000x. I bet we could get the price down to the m10 range, which, given the specs, seems just about right.

Just because the LINO looks like the AEQ unit, does not mean that it is the same.

The body may be the same, but the internal electronics would have been specified by Nagra and to Nagra specs.

Yes, they have gone down the route of having an affordable recorder made in China, but the quality of the mic. pres. ADC, DAC, etc. would have been specified by Nagra.

I think they took a standard unit, modified it to their requirements and then had the factory build it to Nagra spec. - it definitely will not be the same internally as the AEQ unit.

They did the same thing with the earlier ARES units, that were a Nagraised version of a standard unit.

That's the way Nagra can get a high quality portable unit at a reasonable cost.
