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)

Leonard, at Sonic Studios, has some observations:

I noticed in a brief search that (other unknowns aside), the signal
to noise specification for the "recording section" is stated as 97dB.
which, if correct, would be noisier than HiMD and probably most MD
recorders.  They are being used, however, for the reasons you state
though less likely for high gain nature recording.  Rob D.
