By posting to this forum my intention was not to get caught up in an arguement about the lack of 24 bit recording (except via digi-in)
Well, to be fair - and thanks to Boogie and others for highlighting this some time ago - I don't know of an external portable pre/ADC used by tapers that provides a full 24-bit digital stream, since that would require 144dB of dynamic range.
Exactly. I first brought up the 144dB issue 3 or 4 pages back, and someone pointed out that even the $8000 Nagra V only has 96dB of dynamic range, so running analog into it is even more "pointless" than with the Microtrack.
