Re: best bang for the $$ ??

One more thought on this subject.  The concert tapers groups have
slowly come to accept the Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 (JB3) hard disc
recorder as a worthwhile device for on-location recording.  The JB3
has an input for a digital optical signal coming from an external
pre-amp.   The JB3 just records the data stream from the pre-amp; its
own pre-amp and A/D converter are not involved.  Used in this way, the
JB3 is a workable replacement for a DAT recorder.

You can purchase the JB3 for about $275 from several online sources.
The $325 Denecke AD-20 is one less-expensive preamp that works with
the JB3.  But now you're up to $600...

It's better to stick with a $300 minidisc recorder.
