Salvadore,
I have had my Dps for about six months. I am fairly new to digital recording so I really can't compare the Dps to other recorders. I can however, tell you that I am very satisfied with my Dps. I have heard a lot of people say that they use thier Dps for live recording, and get very good results. The bigest problem with the Dps is the effects are hard to use. I can do it, but it still is a hassle for me. That is the only drawback I can see, in my newbie opinion. Otherwise, I am very happy with it.
Rgrds,
Dave
