For years I sought a replacement for my minidisk Fire (1999), I tried MP3 players (voice recorder) I have also tried other voice recorders, but all the sound recordings (mono as well) were appalling .... With this product I have finally found an effective replacement !!! Like my minidisk antediluvian it is of excellent finish brushed aluminum metal case etc., the sound is excellent record here is 100% digital, and unlike minidisc I have not yet managed to plant this device. Excellent product for shooting his "professional". No supplied case, it's a little cheapskate anyway: o)
