Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

If you just want to use it as DAP, go for DR100 MK2, it can be bought for around or less than $199 recently. DR100 MK2 has great PO and LO. I will say it is the king (and the only useable one as DAP) in Tascam product line except for the recently released models that I have not played with. But for DR100 MK2, the PO is very warm, LO is better but still a little warm. I don't think it fits everyone. While looking for DAP, please stay away from Zoom.
Tascam DR-40 Vs Zoom H4n what's right for you? - DSLR FILM NOOB Outdoor Video Gear + Audio Recorder Showdown: Zoom H4n vs. Tascam DR-40
Audio Test: Zoom H4n vs. Tascam DR-40
Note that in the last video, there is slight clipping on the Tascam test recording using the external microphone. This is because the Tascam was being used as a preamp feeding into a digital camera. The on-board recording using the external mic (on the same video) does not exhibit clipping.

You can see them avoiding the issue, which could easily be fixed with a firmware update in their own FAQ: http://tascam.com/product/dr-40/faqs/
