I've seen the hype about the MDS-LSA1. It may be a product ahead of its time...
Also, it seems to be marketed in Europe only (I'm in the US)..
The market they seem to be aiming at is the (future) home stereo market where
most audio a video components are digital, with firewire interface. Although it
could be used with a computer (most would need an add-on firewire adapter).
It also looks like its physical shape would not lend itself to easy placement in
most computer setups (maybe under the monitor???).
If they wanted the "killer" product, I would think they should make a small
portable recorder with a USB interface. (USB has a larger installed base than
firewire, at this time). HHB does make such a recorder for professional use.
I'm not sure about exactly how the USB interface works (is it *native* with
flow control and bidirectional or is it just an "add-on" packaged in the same
enclosure as the MD).
