I'm interested as I'd like a recorder than can work with up to
192k/24bit, play as well as record, and record longer than an hour or
two. Want to use something like this for various purposes.

I hope this doesn't come across as being sharp or whatever its not
intended.

Why do wish to record at 192k/24bit when I thought the wisdom you signed
up to was that 44.1K/16bit was transparent to human hearing?


Hah! As the 'hologram' says in 'I Robot': 'now, that *is* the right
question'!! :-)

Personally, I can't really hear 'digital differences' much or anything above
a 256K MP3 even with valve amplification and singlr driver speakers, but
then that's just me! What has been interesting lately is to see is the
'digital denial' that has come from certain quarters here (not the
originator of this thread AFAIK) simply because 'digital audio' has moved
on - outside their own particular 16/44.1 comfort zones!

See my other thread - you can/might/probably will deny differences in
digital audio but a kid in short trousers can immediately see the
differences in 'digital video' providing the playback equipment is revealing
enough?

Maybe that's where 'digital 'audio' mostly gets by - most people are playing
it on sludgy kit or 'ear buds'...?? ;-)
