looks nice.  will be super small, and proabably a slick stealth deck.
I bet a pair of dpa's into one of these will produce some great results.

Looks good and it only took them 10 years to include a stereo level monitor.

At least they worked as advertised.

so, sorry for being so far out of the loop but, do these Hi MD recorders record without the ATRAC compression?

This looks nice. If the price is right, I might grab one especially for venues with harsh security.

That converts to about $415. That Edirol R-09 is going to smoke this.

Maybe, but not because of price...US price is supposed to be $275-$325 according to the article.

i believe these new models also will keep a manual recoding setting unlike the other sony hi-mds.on mine everytime you stop recording or flip discs,you have to go into the menu and switch settings to manual to adjust levels which is a real pain in the ass.otherwise by default is goes to automatic level adjustment which seemingly never works.

It looks nice, but I don't know that it's worth upgrading from the NH1 I have already.  The fix to avoid resetting manual levels will be nice...if they can produce a 2GB HiMD disc to go along with it would be great.

I'm sure it'll be mini-toslink (optical) input.  the real problem with these is that even with PCM recording, you're still probably limited to 16 bit...
