Paulo, be careful with the Tascam DR-680. I was all enthused about this uni=
t until I did some research.=0D

According to Avisoft the dynamic range is only 69dB, compared with 84dB for=
 the Fostex FR-2LE. There were many reports of poor circuit boards and unit=
s needing to go back to the factory for complete overhauls. The phantom cir=
cuits are poor, and require an hack (soldering in additional caps) to bring=
 up to decent standards. Search on gearslutz for this info. =0D

Maybe a Mk II unit will address these shortcomings, but I am not holding my=
 breath.=0D
