<<Optical digital I/O would seem quite extraneous if you have recordings
on a memory card; curious why's that an issue for you Scott, do you
use the optical in and use your deck as a "bit bucket"?>>

Aaron,
Yes, the digital output portion is irrelevant since I use the USB
transfer function, but a SPDIF input is valuable for me in order to
bypass the weakest link in all these devices, i.e. the mics, analog
input electronics & A to D converter. Although I have to say, in
practical applications, the portability of the unit trumps the added
gear required for improved audio in about 99% of the cases when I'm
out recording ambience.
