Re: ...what to go for then?
I had one of the older ones and I'm not referring to hiss but just the
sampling/bit rate/etc. of the sound.
I've heard guys sound fine onstage with it but at home recording, I
thought it was too lo-fi. I wanted to like the unit as it's priced right
and it's made in the US. The new ones coming out look intriguing.
