$224 (!!) on Amazon.

Just cashed in about $100 in change...might have to splurge and pick one of these up.

Sounds like Korg is about to announce the MR-2!
Even so, this is a great price.

I bought one for 299 at B&H about 6 weeks ago, which at that time was the lowest price.  I literally have not used the deck once!

That's been the rumor for months now  :P

I will say this, I've been using the MR-1 for a few months now and I **LOVE** it - at the current price, it's almost a no-brainer purchase.

are any of the dsd files this thing writes compatible with the ps3?  I just bought a MT2 last week to replace my jb3 but that is just stupid cheap.

Is there a good non-proprietary way to `process` (edit, firstly) these files?
A way to store them?
I mean: storing on DVD-R/bluray, yes, but for playback purposes? Can we burn a disc that can be played?

I think DVD-A and SACD mastering software and playback systems are still expensive. I've heard that the Playstation 3 can play DSD files. I found this link, but have never tried the process:

http://www.ps3sacd.com/dsddiscguide.html

Probably cheaper/easier to build a PC that hooks up to your audio system through a digital link and playback 1-bit files through that.

Why is battery life so short on the MR1?  It seems that it's a nice recorder other than that problem.

old school HDD to power and spin up inside.

that said...
I liked the idea of master/archive in .DSD, and bring it straight to redbook for casual listening.
hoping that "some day", DSD home playback will become more easily accomplished.

does DSD>redbook sound better than 24bit > redbook (when i record w/PCM decks, I usually do it at 24/44.1 to eliminate the resample)?
I suppose not, but I still like it.
