And probably the best of all the accessible portable media recorders. The
one with the worst recording I think is probably the Victor Xtreme.

Hi,
I agree with you that for open-air recordings the noise from the mic amp
probably wouldn't be noticeable, but if you are recording a quiet guitar or
a reader, believe me the hiss will be noticeable when
compared to using a mic preamp. I only point this out for people
who may want to use it for a range of other purposes, but I do agree that it
does a pretty good job for mic recording too.
Best,
Peter
