I'm Ok with that statement.

For ~$5k the audio should be pristine. As I have said before I think the HDV
/ MPeg marriage is a mistake and a step backwards.

I believe the format limits the quality off the audio in favor of a
compression method and bitstream that will conform to 25Mb
Seems the audio will always be of lesser quality than even an old Porta Dat.
We differ there.
