Interesting, thank you for this information.
I have the Korg MR2 DSD/PCM recorder on my s hopping list and was curious. I have done many, many tape dubs to 96/24 and the results have been outstanding, and the editing in Audacity is a snap.

I've had the Korg, Sony Much Better IMO!
AudioGate is great, use it all the time, it can be Downloaded for free without buying the Korg Unit.
Thanks for input. Which Sony in particular?Also the Korg "free" version comes with strings attached. Everytime you use it you must sent a "tweet" out for every single thing you do. I gave up.
There are other functional limitations in the free version as well.

Hi, That Tweet function is no big deal. When you use the software, a button comes up to Tweet tha you are using it, nothing more, you never have to login again or anything.
I use it to burn DSD Discs for my Sony 5400 to play Downloads, and Live Recordings I've done.
The Sony is PCM D 100, $800 at Sweetwater or B&H Photo.
32 GB Storage, great battery life.
I've done Live and Line Level , both fantastic!
And it has 20db pad for recording louder live Music, which is invaluable.
I find the Tweet requirement incredibly irritating..that is just me...
Thanks for the info on the Sony. At $300 more than the Korg it seems to have a few more features..
You find it's recording quality is superior? Or are you taking the whole package into consideration. Also it comes with Sound Forge I believe..does that work well?

Hi, I returned the Korg. I didn't like the sound, for whatever reason, maybe the built in Mics.
I couldn't get high enough recording levels for live, and battery life was poor.
Used a Zoom H4N instead.
I LOVE the sound of the Sony!
Come to think of it the Korg I got was $900, but I could be wrong, maybe $700.
I think Sound Forge is just for Windows and doesn't do DSD, only up to 24/192.
You need MIni pin adaptors, it's a Consumer unit, not pro, but that's not a problem for me, the Quality is just wonderful.
Thanks for all the additional info!
It is not cheap but seems to be as complete a product at this price point as you will see in this category.

cool...street price is around $800 btw, as you had originally remembered.
