Thank you for your response. I had inquired if the NH 700 could use the Wav. converter, and you said yes. I had written to Sony at the same time, and they just replied that the NH 700 had not been tested yet for this, and gave me a list of the units compatible, starting at the 800. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'd just like to make sure about this info before I buy. For recording my live gigs would be my main use of it. I had also asked about the HIMD renderer, put out by Mark, I believe, maybe you were refering to this. Any further info would be appreciated Thanks
