Just speculation but, if he's after classical recording
maybe
he should investigate digital stream? 2.8 million samples
per
second (IIRC) @ 1bit depth would probably do the trick.
Might
be a tad spendy, but maybe should be considered. That is,
IF
classical is his game.

192 KHz 24 bit stereo is 9,216,000 bits per second.

Sorta shames 2,800,000 bits per second, no?
