Marantz's new portable recorder, PMD620 will be available in November. It is probably the smallest device in its class, working with standard SD cards. recording is done with a maximum of 48 kHz sample rate, at 16 or 24 bit resolution. Compressed audio is also a deal, format is mp3, bitrate can be selected from three different quality. There is a little editing function non-destructively, and file transfer is possible via its USB 2.0 port, too.Price is still a secret.
