Thanks Hayden and Sam, for suggestions-but there is little point me paying out £200-£300 for a new digital recorder, as it would only be used to produce a couple of dozen recordings.

A decent minidisc set up (with decent microphone (s) and manual recording level works perfectly well when set up properly, for this type of recording.

The DAD conversion isn't too much of a problem, but that seems to depend on a lot of factors.
