I received an Edirol R-1 this week after being on pre-order
for 3 weeks from BSW.  The USB high-speed port is nice --
it saves removing the flash card to upload.  Built-in mics
are convenience for voice recording, but they're not
especially good.  And it's 3v instead of 6v, and I fear
that costs the Edirol headroom.

I'm now wishing I'd put the money into the Marantz.  HiMD
Doesn't have the record time.

I posted initial impressions to micbuilders:
