well hell, why use anything with a good signal path anyway..hell..the music is coming out of some busted ass peaveys from 1978 that were sent a signal by some behringer eurorack POS , DBX driverack, and a half blown ART multiverb.operated by some numbnuts with half a GED , a coke problem and a bench warrant.
tascam has a reputation for making less than stellar gear too, but the DVRA is a homerun. converters are great!
lets not put the cart before the horse here..
DSD is a stellar format. this is a good thing.
I like my r09 a LOT but, so far, the A/D does not seem to capture cymbal detail and decay as well as the 722.
So the 24/96, 24/192 and DSD on the small recorder could be moot if the signal path and A/D can't capture the detail. Specs aside, how GOOD will it sound.
That's probably the best point...
You could have ultra high resolution of a not-so-great input signal.
Let's hope the rest of this thing sounds nice. Not to be pessemistic, but it is being made by Korg. Have they made any higher quality recorders etc. Like studio gear? The only products I've seen by them were some pretty consumer grade mixer/recorders and whatnot. Do they made any studio gear, or are they affiliated with any other companies?
