i think you might have just summed up what about half of us are thinking.

T-H-A-N-X  F-O-R  T-H-E  N-I-C-E  F-I-N-D !! 

By the way, where did you get this from ?

This would be one hell of an all-in-one-box recording solution for stealth live recordings ...

Lets all hope for decent battery life and good handling abilities in concert situations (input level control knob? easy access to changing levels is a must in my opinion !!) ... 

Now after checking about PDAudio and R1 and Marantz 671 it seems other manufacturers are on the right track, FINALLY ... 

Looks like the consumer version of the Sonosax (can I say that?)

Again would you all please provide Info asap ... I wonder if there´s a chance someone of the specialists/enthusiast in this forum could get hands on a pre-production thingy ... (CraigT, wbrissette or someone please !!!)

Take care ...

if this records 24/96 bit perfect, and is cheaper than the PMD-671 (and it looks like it will be cheaper), maybe I should hold off a little while longer before buying a 24 bit recorder...  I wonder how long it'll be before this is released.

Yeah I am with ya Jason, but the itch has been getting to me lately, just have to maintain control

the biggest dilema I'm facing now is this:  I only have 4 more blank DAT tapes.  I really don't spend any more $$$ on more blanks, knowing that in all likelyhood, within a few months, I won't be running DAT anymore.  that money would be better spent towards a 4 gig CF card, or something

With all the people here switching from dat to hd recorder as these things come out, there should be an abundance of new dat blanks in the yard sale for months to come.

Heh I'll one up ya, my D8 is acting funny, so I am borrowing a D7 at the moment and I too only have about 5 DAT's left, so do I fix my D8, maybe purchase the D7 I am using right now, plus more DAT's or just sit and wait, man the itch is killing me ...

This is exactly what happened to me.. My D8 went on the fritz so I had to purchase something ..so i went with the 670 as the 671 was not out yet...

OH YEAH!!

Hope it displays levels

This thing is a freaking stealth dream box!  Hopefully, it will converge my Denecke PS2 > Denecke AD20 > JB3 setup into 1 box.  And it will fit in the palm on my hand?  Sweet!

i think the real key for stealthers is the fact it looks more like an mp3 player.. such as the jb3..rather than some other devices..

that's what I was thinking.
one less thing to have to crotch.
just have to cover that big red record button somehow.

This looks awesome.  Plus it looks like by the time it ships I'll be able to afford it.
