Take a look at Marantz's PMD-670.
Not MD, but direct to MP3.
I am just going that route.


Well! It looks promising indeed! An 10 GHz IBM Microdrive, a good
battery power supply and there you go with the normal 48/16 wave
format for hours... I thing it's a deal.

Recently I was attending a Zagreb Solists strings concert; I have been
hearing closely to the instruments. First I thought "such things I'd
record analog only" -- a friend of mine recorded that with a
permission using a Sony MD and its stereo mike; haven't heard that
yet but I think the violins remained, ---well saying on German,
"Schweissbrenner"-- sounding on the MD. Well that's an acetilene torch
sound )

The good news: PMD-670 can record direct linear PCM as well - it just
needs more space.
(It also does MP2)

.... Yes, that's a point! Only I'd like to know something more about
its converters... a real thing would be theoretically but viable say
a modular converter section so one could upgrade to another converters
such 24/96 or even higher sampling rate, bandwidth and IBM
Microdrive's i/o rate permitting? Or am I thus stepping into the
laptop realm with such ideas )? I like XLR and phantom power supply
built in. An external power supply connection is, I'm sure, provided
too.
