I need a recorder for some interview work I'll be doing this year. I thought about a basic Olympus but then I thought, why not up the spec a bit and use it as a digital audio recorder as well. There seem to be a number of units out there, all offering up to 24bit 96kHz recording ability, with prices anywhere from about £70 for a Tascam up to £3-400 for the more sophisticated units. The Olympus LS-5/LS-10 has rather caught my eye, as has the Edirol R-09HR and Sony PCM-M10. Then there's the W24 from Yamaha..
What I don't know is how good they sound as recorders. There are some reviews that cover mic recording quality but not much covering the quality of trhe line level input. As I'd like to record some vinyl and some reel tape through the line input this is important. It seems like a rather neat solution, but if the A-D convertors etc.. are heavily compromised I'll think again.
So, if anybody here is using one of these devices, I'd appreciate your views.
