with no xlr ins, phantom power, digi in, and noisy pres toboot this looks utterly useless to me.  The only thing it has going for it is 24 bit capability.

Nice try marantz, swing and a MISS!

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Which is of no use if the analog stages are noisy - but do we know that?

^^true.  I know better than to expect something made for us!  Just wishful thinking.

Not totally true. 

2 keys:

1)  Has the same butter-sounding ADC as the 660.
2)  1/8 connection is better constructed than the R09's.

If it hits on these two issues, I would be very interested in the 620.
