Thanks for all the great info. I was going to try and pick up a used 702 or 722, but the USBPre 2 -> DR-680 sounds like it may be a winner. I'm very good with my gear so the plastic build should be good in a good bag with some light reinforcing for the panels. However, if anyone on the board is willing to sell a 702 or 722, as well as an MKH 416p, I would be happy to pick it up.

Thanks Dan, This is promising. Do you have any issues with the lighter plastic build of the DR-680? Much if the recording will be in a high moisture environment (Boat & being in Washington in general).

I'm looking to build it a low cost field setup for sfx recording and was wondering if anyone had experience with the dr-680s recording at 192khz through a USBPre? Or, is that recorder not reliable for good enough and should be replaced by a 702 or 722? ---------- If someone has a used 702 or 722 FS I would be interested in buying. I am located in Seattle. One project I am gearing for is pitch shifting recorded whale song, hence the 192khz record rate.
