Could anyone comment on the preamp quality of the DR-07 ?  (I suppose the DR-07
can provide power for condenser mics, right ?)

Also, does it seamlessly split at 2Gb ?

Thanks in advance,

Has anyone heard if you are able to record via it's built in mics and XLR inputs at the same time, like the Zoom H4n does?

The DR-100 manual says you can record from one source
(internal mics, XLR external mics, line input) at a time.
You select the source from the menu, and this turns off
the other sources.

There is an "overdub" mode that lets you add a live feed
to a recorded file, creating a new file that is the combination
of both.  Useful for adding vocals to a pre-recorded guitar,
or singing harmony with yourself, I guess.  The DR-1 includes
the overdub feature, but the DR-07 does not.

Just got the DR-07... The manual gives the impression it seamlessly splits at 2gb (or less, according to your setting), but whether it is truly seamless, I don't know yet. It does have plug-in power that can be switched on or off, but I don't see any additional information about this.

I'm thinking about grabbing a DR-100 this year.  Any samples would be grateful.

Looking to add a 2nd 24 bit recorder and leaning towards the dr-7.  Any feedback on the pres/adc of the unit?  Limits, battery life, overall opinions?

Thanks...

Tests by Avisoft Bioacoustics indicate that the DR07 and DR100
share the same preamp performance.  It's disappointing that
you pay such a large premium for the DR100's XLR inputs, metal
case and Li-Ion battery.  (DR07 = $165 delivered from buy.com
DR100 = $370 delivered from eBay. In both cases, the vendor is
"the deal spot.")

The Avisoft tests of preamp self-noise place the DR07 and DR100
in the middle of the pack, similar to the Marantz PMD620, and not
nearly as good as the Marantz PMD661 and Sony PCM-D50.

The Avisoft tests of portable audio recorders are the most complete
and most consistent ones available.  To date, results are posted for
20 recorder models tested in 27 configurations.

The Avisoft Bioacoustics tests are controversial because they test
preamp performance at full gain and 16/44.1.  The Avisoft tests are
conducted in this way because nature recording often needs lots of
gain (little bird singing from the top of a distant tall tree, for example)

Thanks for the info!  Will search for the Avisoft website.

$165 is a great deal too.  May go ahead and pick one up.  Looking for a better 24 bit recorder for running analog.  My mt2 is okay but think this may be a step up.

According to the Tascam site, 96kHz recording will be available for the dr-100 via the version 1.10 software update.

I think that confirms my interest in buying one of these.

Anybody know what unity is on the dr-07?  I ordered one and am hoping to give it a run this weekend.  Sure hoping that the line in is a stepup from my mt2.
