Re: TASCAM DR-08, DR-2d and DR-680 noise tests

Yep,

These findings support the general rule of thumb that the preamp noise perf=
ormance of a recorder is primarily determined by its supply voltage or the =
size of its batteries (assuming that the designers did not made a major mis=
take). Once the supply voltage is at least about  6 volts, it is relatively=
 easy for the designers to select suited low-noise op amps.
