Very interesting. Also dependes how small they can make these things. The audio dudes didn't bring that up did they. Every one is too use to having thousand thousands of tunes on their phone always right at hand. I think this will be another audio geek product. Geeks like me. All though they never spoke of what sample rate and bit deapth these things will go to. You know me, PCM 96 KHZ 24 Bit please. Or hell step it up and go 192 KHZ. Yep, I'm an HD guy. No more CD or DVD audio for me thanks. Don't get me wrong, it's cool and I use it cause that's all my DM 420 can take. But once I get an LS 14 at the very least bie bie DVD audio for good. Ahahahaha! Since this on list, any 1 here that has an LS 14 or the epic LS 100. Please explain if they did in the manual, what's the magic sause in their WAV files? I ask because apparently they can play PCM 96 KHZ 24 bit but only and only those WAV files made on the recorder it self. But why? What's so special about theirs? That's just silliness from Olympus if you ask me. That should have been some kind of prank. It totally comes off that way too. Oh you can play HD audio on these things alright, but haha, only owr files. Gotcha! Ahahahahaha! It's just like only the more expensive DMs being able to do CD and DVD audio. Thankfully with the DM4 and 2 they cut that nonsence out.
