Really to make a new deck like the D10 they covered the important parts, they just failed at other stuff.
Actually, no, they failed at the most important part: the recording quality.
Is that regarding specs or actual sound quality?
Internal mikes??.. Line-in??.. XLR mikes??
Thanks.
According to a reviewer named George Vlad, the preamps are noisier than the D100 and the M10.
"The Sony PCM D10 is rather noisier than the M10 or D100 and has a small bump around 7kHz."

"the D100 sounds decidedly better and cleaner even if you don't take self-noise into account. If you'll be mainly using the on-board mics, the obvious choice is the D100."

But adrianb actually owns one and said: "Bought one, tried it, back in the box. Will be up for sale at some point."
