I would think (but I do not know) that a portable DAT would have much
better A/D chips than a Nomad, since recording is it's Raison d'Etre,
where the Nomad is really about playing music and having the recording is
"bonus." I looked on the creative site, but I didn't see anything about
which WAV formats it records in or what it's sampling and bit depth are.
I do most of my field recording on a MiniDisc, it's size, battery life and
ease of use are pretty key for me. I record my gigs either on the
portable DAT or the MD. My portable DAT ate a tape on Saturday night, so
there you have the downside.
