Pros & Cons
Pros
Price still carries a price that stings. Part of me wants to say it's pricey but it's not. Good quality merchandise.
The original box that came with the recorder is huge and wish it was more compact for storage. Recordings are excellent. He is quite particular with his recording gear so that is high praise.
This is a no brainer if you want a solid dap and recorder. It has a far higher price point than the best zoom recorders, but it delivers the audio quality that is expected out of that price. This is the successor to the pcm-d50, which was also highly ... Read More
The metal and casing just feels fantastic in the hand. There are no squeaks, or misfitted pieces. One complaint is a button that toggles between no loss and 20db of loss.
Cons

That's just lame.

Part of me wants to say it's pricey but it's not.
Nevertheless, such an adaptor can be purchased very inexpensively, if needed.
Shipping
In my case once ups was able to actually begin shipment, it took less than 5 days to get from japan to ohio.
So it’s best to contact the seller (through amazon) to verify shipment dates.
Just received my sony pcm from a merchant in japan.
There are, however, some covid related delays in international shipment via ups.
Packaging/appearance
Comes in a nice box with a windscreen and case.
If it matters, this unit comes presented (and believe me, no other word is more accurate) in an exquisite black cardboard box w... Read More
If you purchase this device, you'll want to try to keep this packaging because it is so unusual and also distinguishes the product.
The original box that came with the recorder is huge and wish it was more compact for storage.
Competitiveness
I can record songs off a bose speaker, and the quality is much better than most of the songs on itunes.
