Hi all.

I've just bought one of these to replace my old minidisc deck, mainly because MDs are becoming hard to get hold of, and aren't very convenient. Well it is a superb machine. It isn't fussy about media (you can use computer data CD-Rs), and has similar controls and functions to a good tape deck. It also has DJ-oriented features like pitch control and a key change function.

The thing that impresses me most about it is the playback. The audio quality is superior to my regular CD player, a Sony SCD-XB940, something that I was not expecting.

Has anyone else had experience with these? I've not had a chance to have a proper play with it yet but I am VERY impressed so far. Do these 'professional' CD recorders have higher grade DACs or components to the consumer ones?
