Digi in is useless for this device....I don't understand why anyone would think a dsd machine would have it.
Crappy analog in + no digi in = crappy "toy"
What are you going to use this newest disposable recorder for?......crappy point-and-shoot internal mic recordings? No thanks......next.
Hook...., some wonderful advice that will improve your online persona.
shut up.
better to appear stupid by keeping your mouth closed than to prove it by flappin your gums.
As I see it, this is a very cool deck. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these suckers.
-digital I/O is a PCM thing. It would behoove a PCM recorder to have one..., but this is a DSD recorder..primarily.
that is the "catch" with this deck. DSD. PCM recording is an afterthought with these Korg recorders, which is why there is no digital i/o outside of USB for data transfer.
- no balanced inputs ? big deal. they were a PITA and completely unnecessary. will not affect quality by not having them.
- built in microphones are here to stay. after-all the majority of the market is just like their picture on korg.com. a guy playing music w/this thing setup and recording in front of him.
- no moving parts !! much better.
- hopefully an improved opamp from the Kraco chip they had in the MR1.
all in all, the MR1 still remains my favorite sounding deck. The MR2 can only be a step in the right direction, all these years later since the MR1, I"m sure they have learned a thing or two.
