John,
Not trying be a wise guy, but just out of curiosity, do Stanley P. Lipshitz and John Vanderkooy use audio recorders to record musicians ? I only ask because I have never heard of them, and see by your post that they are part of an audio research group.
I've compared recordings of same choir in same venue with same mics, done with Benchmark A/D @ 24/96, and Korg DSD 5.8, and prefer the Korg. Just a bit cleaner, the difference is not that much. BTW this comparison is after AudioGate Export to 96K/32bitIEEEFloat. Since I can't deliver the DSD, I haven't bothered to listen to that output from Korg.
On another topic, thanks for recommending MKH8040, I finally received my pair, and like the sound very much. I'll be using them with MR-1000 to record same choir on their upcoming tour to Austria.
Best regards,
Rick Z
