I have some questions about the Marantz 706, to help me with comparison to my Tascam DR-60D and DR-70D.
Does the 706 allow pause during recording? (the DR-60D does but the DR-70D doesn't, grrrr)
Does the 706 have a remote control option? I don't see a port for one or any mention of one. Both Tascams have a wired remote which I love.
How clean are the 706 preamps? Please reply with specs and/or head to head comparison. I can't find EIN data anywhere for the 706. A head to head against the DR-60D or DR-70D would be very helpful, or even the Olympus LS-100. The Tascam preamps are OK, the Olympus has a better EIN spec.
Thanks!
Follow up: I called Marantz with these questions, info below:
Pause while recording: they tested it and said it paused without creating a new file. Good news to me, can someone confirm this is true?
Remote control: nope, no immediate plans, argh, deal breaker. Bad news to me.
Preamps: did not know EIN values. Argh. I hope someone can report some head to head tests.
