Dear all:
I have been looking at portable digital recorder to replace my Tascam
DAT portable which has given many good years of service. I have looked
at the Marantz PMD670 and 660 and Edirol R1 and R4. These come close,
but all seem to lack digital inputs. Is there a device with similar
capabilities (solid state, good preamp, SLR connectors, phantom power,
digital audio in/out, USB2.0 or firewire) with digital input also?

Thanks very much,
Richard

But what's that RCA jack on the left side of the Edirol R4 that's marked
"Digital Input"?

The PMD 670 has digital I/O. And USB port. My experience
with it is quite positive.
