But I have one main concern. It seems that the PDAudio CF card is becoming abandonware at CoreSounds.
PDAudio-CF is not "abandonware" -- we expect to carry it and support it for at least a few more years.
Using an external Mic Pre/ADC like our Mic2496 V2 or a Grace Lunatec V3 gives you a true 24-bit/96 recorder. The M-Audio MicroTrack II, Sony -D50 and other small recorders have, at best, 16-bits of dynamic range, despite being marketed as 24-bit recorders.
Sorry Len, that was a bit provocative! I appreciate all the effort you put into developing this gear. Cleary, it has been very useful and had a unique niche in the taper community at a time when there were few other options.
But it was just the feeling I got when browsing your site. The "news" page for PDAudio was last updated in May 2007. Go figure...
The comparison page is "under construction" and doesn't mention the two particular recorders on the market that accept 24bit digital input (D50 and MTII). We're not comparing analog inputs here - I'm strictly looking at S/PDIF 24bit.
