"What a great gadget"

Feature:
I mainly have been using this for stereo recordings, for which it sounds awesome. The tuner appears very accurate and the speed function is great for transcribing solos. The FX are clean and accurate, maybe a little noisey. I haven't used the overdub function.

Quality:
So far so good. Smart looking and appears durable.

Value:
Great bang for the buck.

Desirability:
Its sexy

Sound:
Outsatnding quality at the 24 bit setting to .wav

Ease of Use:
Simple, intuitive user friendly

Support:
Havent used them

Overall:
I 'll give it a nine. Theres always room for improvement, but it appears to all be little things to me. Its main function is as a stereo recorder and as that it is Great!

"OK for me, but maybe not you"

Feature:
Good set of connectors, rechargeable battery. But, it doesn't come with an AC adapter!

Quality:
When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was the cheap, lightweight feel. The buttons feel cheap, the wheel that you use to navigate menus feels cheap, everything feels cheap.

Sound:
I got this to record through the line in jack, and audio recorded through this jack is great. I was not impressed, though, with the build in mics. They sounded tiny to me and they pic up a lot of handling noise.

Ease of Use:
Drag and drop files from the DR-1. Navigating the menus is difficult, it took me a long time to figure out, after changing something in the settings, how to get back to the previous screen without completely leaving the settings section (fyi, you press the rewind button...?)

News
The TASCAM DR-1 puts world-dominating power into your pocket. Its built-in stereo microphones include a unique variable angle mechanism, so you can set it to record from any angle. The DR-1 is the first portable recorder to include a 1GB card, so you'll have plenty of CD or MP3-quality recording time for long rehearsals and concerts. And with a street price of just $299, everyone's gonna want one.

A pair of microphones are mounted on a variable angle mechanism, which allows the recorder to record from almost any angle. The built-in stereo condenser microphones are arranged for a wide stereo image, and an external mic can also be used. The unit includes a generous 1GB SD card for hours of recording at MP3 or WAV file formats. The DR-1 also includes auto gain control and analog limiting for easy setup and a low-frequency cutoff to eliminate handling or wind noise.

Optional Tascam Field Pack Information
The Field Pack matches Tascam's best-selling DR-1 portable recorder with the TMST1 stereo microphone. The DR-1 includes its own microphones of course, a pair of condensers in A-B pattern for a natural recording pattern. It captures in MP3 or WAV format, 24-bit or 16-bit, and includes a 1GB SD Card to start recording right away. The DR-1 includes an Overdub mode with effects to record over your previous recording to make a complete production.

Adding the TMST1 gives added flexibility while recording to the DR-1. The mic can be placed in the perfect spot while the recorder stays near to press record. The Mid-side side of the TMST1 allows the stereo image to be widened, to capture more ambience or audience sound, or narrowed to reduce background noise. It plugs into the DR-1's 1/8-inch mic input - or any other recorder - for a detailed stereo sound with perfect mono compatibility.

Ideal for rehearsals and concerts, capture every note with the affordable Tascam Field Pack

Optional Pack includes: Tascam DR-1 recorder, TMST1 stereo microphone, 1GB SD card, mic cable and stand.
