This is an ADC line-in comparison between the Edirol R-09 and R-09HR. For the ADC test, I ran as follows:
Pioneer DV-588-A CD/SACD/DVD-A deck > Kind Kables (RCA > mini) > recorder (24/48 line-in)
I chose to record at 24/48 because it's the highest available on the R-09 and it is the recording format I will personally be using.
The R-09 was set at level 8, and the R-09HR was set at level 35. This results in approximately the same final recording gain for the two (see the R-09HR thread for more details
http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,100541.msg1400415.html#msg1400415). I initially tried the default inputs (13 and 40, respectfully), but was clipping.
The discs used for the comparison are as follows:
Track 1 - Grateful Dead - American Beauty DVD-A, Box Of Rain
Track 2 - Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek SACD, The Lighthouse's Tale
I recorded appx 90sec of each track. Disregard any clicks you may hear at the beginning of the recording, as it was me pressing play/track switch. The files are an A-B blind test, with A-1 being track 1 for recorder A, B-1 being track 1 for recorder B, etc.
The 24/48 FLAC files (encoded to FLAC level 8 using xACT) may be downloaded below:
