Try the Fostex D5 DAT modelled on the DA-20. Nice options, with more
programming and Balanced XLR outputs which is great if you take it live. It
will plug straight into a stage box (multicore) and have no noise because
of the balanced outs. It has a similar price range and is white (bleh!)
Portables are harder live but work alright in the studio. They do have
lower dynamic range.
