And I'm sorry, but the idea that "there is no way something this

While I agree microphone takes a great part of the quality, the other
part is A/D/A as well as pre. Every designer has their own design.
Also there is no way to use decent microphone if the device has no
balanced input (except Zoom H4). Oh, and with these small devices,
you
can't even fit the industrial standard A/D/A chips such as Asahi-
Kasei.
Again, Sony takes great pride on designing A/D/A for human ear comfort
rather than accuracy.
The MicroTrack has balanced TRS inputs. I can't vouch for the AD
converters compared with other digital devices, but the sound quality
is WAY better than any portable recorder I have ever used, with the
possible exception of a portable DAT.
