anyone know how many volts in the plug-in power?
also - this has a digital limiter, the r09hr says it has an analog limiter. not sure what the difference is, and if you'd even use one in a stealth situation. I never used AGC, but I did use the clip setting on my rockboxed IRiver, which actually works.
I was all ready to pull the trigger on an r09hr, until this came out, now I'm on the fence. My sense is either one would be great, but I'd use this primarily for stealth - so ease of use, low key lighting, easily visible controls, etc. you've got to love the IRiver remote, which shows you the levels right on it.
The M-10 looks like it has forward facing mics with clip indicators right on them, so if you're clipping, you'd be blinking. I'd generally use separate mics (AT853) but I'm surprised at the results people have been getting from the built ins...
