Thanks I will, I'm open to anything at this point.

Thanks green machine. I'm looking for the cheepest ( but Quality recorder ) I can find. It seems that minidisc fits the bill. Besides what real advantage would any other format have ( other than higher bit depths and sample rates if I could get a quality signal in to the Minidisc and use Marcnet Hi-md renderer to get a WAV file to protools?

So I'm doing research on what portable stereo recorder to buy and I have come up with this question. Can I use a portable Mic pre and analog to digital converter to send 44.1K / 16 bit digital audio to a Hi-MD (I'm looking at getting a NH900) via the optical input and record it with out any degrading of the audio? Would this be the same as being able to directly transfer music from CD opticly? Any Feedback on this would be greatly appretiated. Thank you, Baub This is from the sony web site: LinearPCM mode achieves high quality sound recording without audio data compression. This function is useful for backing up your treasured music CDs. You may use optical cables to connect a "Hi-MD" device and a CD player to retain sound quality*. * Only CD players with optical capability can be used.
