Nagra V vs Sounddevices 722

[1954U1]

Nagra V ---> 96 khz max sample rate convs.
Sounddevices 722 ---> 192 khz max sample rate convs.

Do someone has both?
I'm planning to buy one of them, for doing field-recording, effects, random noises, but also treated and no-treated rooms live pianos..
so pre's are important..
I know pres on 722 are transformerless, but people seems to have very good opinions about..
how about pres on Nagra V?

About D/A convs, from the specs it seems to me that they are not so different..

Do someone has more.. real.. clues/facts?

Thanks!

First, I think you will get more responses if you posted this in the Remote forum rather than here ... having said that, seriously there is a Big price difference between the V and the 722.

I have both the 722 and the 744 which are both very robust, reliable machines with great sound and a minimum of fuss. My friend in Dallas has several Nagras - including the V and the DII - and after borrowing my 744 for a few days has gotten himself one and as far as I know is now using this machine on the road rather than the V. He tells me that the sound is comparable and the four tracks are useful in a pinch.

Just a data point that you may find useful.
