Impressive. Recorded all weekend with the DR-1 at Mountain Jam. Really like the sound. Even more so than my R09. Warm, butter-smooth sound. Recessed highs, but not muddy. I'm close to moving in the DR-1 as my #1 recorder, relegating the R09 as a backup.
The lithium battery is only good for about 4-5 hours. However, swapping external power is easy via a USB battery pack. The trick is to do it while you're recording, or the DR-1 will recognize the pack as a USB computer connection. Ran all day Sunday, recording 10 hours of music, non-stop.
Dig the big screen. Meters are very active and easy to read. However, I want to see actual db numbers on the meters in the next firmware upgrade.
Maxed-out a card by accident late Friday night. DR-1, however, still saved the file.
PQI 16gb card worked flawlessly with the DR-1 too. No burps or hiccups. Its nice to be able to fit a whole days worth of music, without swapping cards out. Convenient.
I'll have samples up this week. Primarily whole sets from Mountain Jam on LMA.
