>>3958443It's awesome. Some argue it's awesomer than the SD MixPre 6 and some argue it isn't, but in any case it's awesome. I personally use a DR-70D for recording ambience which I think is the bees tits and works perfectly for my needs. Depends what you do. I don't get any discernible preamp noise from my Tascam but will someday upgrade to either the F6 or MixPre 6.
