Many folks who record in digital daisychains at concerts (passing a
digital audio feed along from person to person) have asked us about
using our PDAudio Card to create a very small, low-cost, high-res
digital audio recorder. (When you daisychain, you don't need a
microphone pre-amp or A-to-D converter, so why pay for them?)
Get a PDA (e.g., HP iPAQ h3800, h5100-, h5500- or h2200-series), a Core
Sound PDAudio-CF S/PDIF card (provides both optical and coaxial S/PDIF
inputs), recording software (e.g., Live2496 from Gidluck Mastering) and
a memory card.
Here's a sample recorder system: an HP h2215 iPAQ (under $250 on eBay),
Core Sound PDAudio-CF card ($199) and Gidluck Mastering's Live2496
recording software($50)
For storage you could use a 1 GB SanDisk SD memory card (around $75 at
Buy.com).
This is the only 24/96-capable digital audio recorder that can be
slipped into your shirt pocket.
