Now that Tascam has announced a DR-680 Mk II, what are the advantages of upgrading for people who already own the DR-680? Worth the cost?

Better Mic-Pre, 192kHz, SDXC, Longer battery life (not useful to me, I always use AC adapter)

From what I read you should use the Tascam adapter that is strictly for the Tascam. I bought mine on Amazon.com

I've had mi Tascam long enough I don't readily remember, but my guess would be that it doesn't come with a MIDI cable. Besides, if you're going to run MIDI with it, you'll need TWO cables - one for MIDI in and another for MIDI out.

Yes, absolutely! Visit www.Tascam.com and download the appropriate driver for your machine if it is not automatically detected.

I would say that these are an upgrade. Especially for vocals and better controlled bass. These have really good imaging and detail. These will definitely reveal low quality audio files.

What Model number Boss Drum Machine do you have? For example the Boss DR-3 Dr. Rhythm requires the Boss FS-5U Non-latching Footswitch, one footswitch pedal(about $30) and the Boss FS-6 Dual Foot Switch Pedal(about $60) is required for the Boss DR-880. The Tascam is a great pedal but has 3 foot switches so I would contact Boss.com via email support and Tascam.com the same way and ask them, giving them specific model numbers for both pedal and drum machine model. The Tascam requires batteries but you can purchase an AC adapter separately for it too.

The CX 680 is ur best bet with regards to durability and longevity. I even accidently washed and dried it with my clothes and still works like brand new even after almost 2 yrs later. The sound quality and base is fantastic.

There are 4 main New Features for the DGX 650 over the DGX 640. These include the STYLE RECOMMENDER (helps you find appropriate backing track (drums etc.) based on the rhythm of a song you are playing), AUDIO RECORDING - the ability to record audio in WAV format (not just MIDI anymore!), SPEAKER OVERRIDE (can route keyboard through sound system and keep the sound coming out of the keyboard speakers also so you can use the keyboard speakers as your monitor). This is very important to me, and AUX INPUT (play along with an MP3 player). --BB

I think that many of us (Me!) would love to hear what others feel about Mr. Timofei's statement that the S700 has "CD Direct" which makes "a huge difference in the sound." If that's so,...I certainly want a 700 rather than a 500 or a 300. How do you 300 and 500 owners feel?!

Bummer. Interesting that Zoom doesn't seem to take any ownership of this issue and that they are still selling the H2. I certainly wouldn't buy another H2 and I probably won't buy another Zoom product. I replaced the H2 with a Tascam DR-07, which works just fine.

Carol I have recorded dozens of CDs on my Mac and Windows based computers and have received many CDs from friends who recorded them using various equipment. I do not know if any used the Tascam system you referred to. But I have been able to play all but one CD in my Denon system.

Substantially! The sound is warmer, richer and more pleasing. I used to listen to my CDs on an RCA DVD player and thought that was OK until I heard them on the Tascam. What a difference!

The Korg KP3+, is supposed to more up to date effects, than the regular KP3. I have not had a chance to compare the two. But fromwhat I have read, (from others) that it's worth getting the KP3+, for the extra effects

I believe that Tascam has a midi model as well as the CD model. The problem that I had with mine was the CD wouldn't rotate and then the power supply was defective. Both were replaced by Amazon. The CDGT2 works OK as long as you don't get a lemon

Both are excellent and very similar. The MDRV6 was the original design of the two and was issued a few years earlier. The components, drivers, ancillary parts of both models appear to be virtually identical. The MDR 7506 was issued by Sony at the behest of recording & mixing engineers who preferred a less pronounced bass and a more prominently enhanced mid and upper mid-range tonal balance (NOT for listening enjoyment reasons!... but to more readily detect noise and distortions in the recording and mixing process... Live DJ's also seem to prefer the 7506 model at public events because the enhanced mid-range brightness helps drown out ambient hall sounds and crowd noises). The V6 and 7506 sound quite similar to most folks. Although I can usually detect a very subtle and nuanced difference between the V6 and 7506, I can only hear a meaningful difference between the two models on less than 1 out of 10 recordings in my collection. I prefer the V6 because it has all the mid and upper mid-range "sparkle", clarity & brightness sufficient to suit my taste and (to my ears) the V6 packs a much more impressive and clean tight bass wallop on those recordings that do feature and emphasize extreme dynamic range, powerful super fast transients, excessive deep bass elements, and/or contain very loud percussive passages.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I went ahead and ordered the 880. The reason why I like the Advanced One is because it has so many buttons that you can configure. Plus it looks so slick in the black. Hopefully the 880 can serve all my remoting needs.
