Release date for DP32/24SD?

[Pete C]

Can anyone tell me when these two (SD models) came out?

Like other things one tries to predict to buy or not to buy and wait a little.
I'm thinking by looking at posts that it might have been in 2013 or 14?

If it's been 3 or 4 years maybe the newer and better will come soon, like bring midi back!
I know this is the preverbal question in all things we buy, so just want a starting point.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.
I did google but didn't really come up with this, but then again, didn't look at 1,000,000 hits

Later than I thought, which is a good thing since I just picked up on one. Perhaps support will be on going for a long while.

Thanks again,
Pete

They really should bring MIDI back. Don't need the burner. But lack of MIDI makes these otherwise well-thought-out and very capable recorders unnecessarily limited.

Agree. Don't need the burner.
MIDI implementation doesn't add that much cost with proprietary chips today, plus their older firmware in the discontinued 24/32 had it written in already. I bet the new firmware still has the code in it just not utilized. So they saved a couple of bucks on jacks maybe.

How about more digital I/O? Could use it as opposed to a usb port that is nothing more than a file explorer.
