They are used by the music taping crowd as digital storage, mostly using the
spdif in. (running behind an outboard a/d with a digital out). (Oade Bros
modified Edirol UA-5 is a big favorite)

I noticed in a brief search that (other unknowns aside), the signal
to noise specification for the "recording section" is stated as 97dB.

though less likely for high gain nature recording. Rob D.
