Mic recording on Sharp DR7 (1-bit) and transfer to PC?

[Guest Anonymous]

Trace-back recording on the Sharp DR7, DR470, DR480 is great. But can you transfer recordings to PC from the headphone jack?

A salesman told me no, and Peter Rice writes on minidisc.org (http://www.minidisc.org/classd_amp.html):

"Despite extensive filtering, the headphone leads can still have high-frequency switching signals on them, and these often feed back into microphone leads and cause havoc in mixers and the like. Also, the phone output can't easily be used as a line output for connecting to hi-fi gear, again because there isn't a conventional audio signal on it."

So, the DR7 is the first with trace-back. Is it also the first that can't transfer live recordings?
