Hi,

I am looking for a high quality audio recorder (preferably better than or equal to 24/96 quality). Ideally, I am looking for a device that has an spdif optical input. I know Sony and Marantz used to produce such units at around 600 quid. Is anyone aware of any more recent units at a more affordable price level?

On a general note, there seems to be fewer products with optical inputs/outputs than 10 years ago. I now regret selling a Sony Discman with optical out as it would have given me the flexibility to play the odd cd through my current digital streaming system.

Thanks for any info ....
