Given the recent news about Sony's "rootkit", I'd be quite wary of buying 
the PCM-D1. I'd rather like to use my regular microphones and need XLR 
inputs. It seems that finally Tascam came up with a solid state substitute 
to the DAP1, at half the price ...

I inquired about international orders already. Any comments?
