Marantz updates PMD 670 to 24/96

["oryoki2000" <>]

It appears that Marantz is planning to update the PMD 670's digital
recording capability.  The 670 is limited to 16/48 quantization (DAT
quality).  The new PMD 671 can digitize at up to 24 bits, 96,000
samples per second (one type of DVD-Audio).   No word on other
changes, pricing or availablity.

it's a good thing flash memory is becoming more affordable.  Recording
at 24/96 fills up your recording medium three times as quickly as 16/48.  

Here's one source of information on the PMD 671:
