yeah, i don’t want to imply i’m crapping on the tascam at all. i owned the dr-100mkii for about a year from july 2017 to july 2018 or so, and made a number of great recordings with it in that time. i’m sure the mkiii is even better. once i got a mixpre-6 a few months ago i no longer needed the tascam for open or light stealth situations, and found it too big to be comfortable crotching for heavy stealth situations. thus it was kind of caught in a no-mans land middle ground for me where it would just collect dust, so i sold it and put the $ toward an r-07. the tiny size makes the r-07 great for crotching and the ability to be fiddling with it from your phone without ever touching the unit itself is great for situations where you have a security guard staring at you all night. but yeah, if you don’t mind the extra bulk, the dr-100 is a great unit, and the xlr inputs are a nice feature.
