If you want small and convenient, there are too recent releases: The DM-720 which is focused on voice recordings, with quite a few features and not bad sound; and
The Ls-P2 which is nearly as small as the 720 and 520 and 620 but supports 96/24 and has 90 degrees XY mics plus the central Tri-mic for bass. Both support setting time and date independently. The LS-p2 is not fantastic as a quality field recorder, with some boom eq issues around mid bass, but for its size and the Voice Guidance, its worth looking at. I haven't done much testing with external mics, but suspect it will be pretty good in that regard. If you knew the DM-7, then this is similar format and better quality. Sadly it only has one bass roll off level, that is too aggressive for my tastes. If you have to choose between the DM-720 and the LS-P2, the 720 is quite a nice note-taking device, and substantially less expensive than the LS-P2 Another benefit of the LS-P2 is that it supports output to Bluetooth speakers and headphones, but the implementation is not very good - for example it only seems to pair with one device at a time, and I couldn't get it working with my Air Pods.

The DM-420 or 520 are, for my money, the best Olympus recorders if you want a recorder but aren't concerned about phantom power, etc. The DM-620 is okay but is less straightforward to operate. The Dm-720 isn't bad either. Again, it depends on what you want. None of the recorders I've used let you set the time and date by voice. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Jim Noseworthy Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2017 10:14 AM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: Best olympus accessible recorder.
