I'm sure the Sound Devices 722 will have superior preamps, but for those who
want the option to record four tracks simultaneously, you can't beat having
four preamps and phantom power.
So I'm just hoping the preamps on the Edirol are decent, along with solid
operational features.
I don't care about the size issue. In fact, the 722 and 744 both look rather
on the small size for me.

Certainly looks a nice machine and for the price but I am still leaning to
the 722 because of the size basically, I totally trust the sound devices but
of course this machine may turn out to be something!!
Thanks Arron

Wow wow wow.
A cheaper alternative to the 744T ~ a friend who saw it yesterday at AES
(I'm going to try to go today) said it was supposed to list at $1800:

Hot on the heels of their 2 channel portable recorder comes a four channel
40 GB HD recorder with phantom-powered XLR for four channels. Records up
to 24/96. Runs off 8x AAs. Limiter if you want it. USB2 for file transfer.
CF slot to offload recordings to. Onboard editing capabilities, electret
mics (2), and speakers for in-field editing. Pre-record buffer.
Digital inputs too if the onboard pres turn out to be not the best.
It looks about as big as a hardback book. Maybe bulkier than the 722/744.
But not nearly as big as say a Deva etc.
More if I get to see one!
