Hi Marc,

I could not find any noticeable drift between the LS-11 and a TASCAM DR-1 i=
n a three minutes period (I just aligned my simultaneous microphone noise t=

d the potential drift between the two was at least less than one millisecon=
d in three minutes). These recordings were done at 44.1kHz/16bit. So, it mi=
ght perhaps be that the problems only occur at higher bit rates (96kHz/24bi=
t) or this issue has been fixed on the new model.
