Please accept my apologies for two errors in our test. We had the Edirol set to MP3 instead of WAV, as mentioned in the main entry. But also, we had the low cut filter engaged on the Edirol as well. So the bright sound of the Edirol is probably not representative of the unit.

The R09 noise level, however, still seems a bit excessive compared to the other two, and as far as we can tell, neither of our errors contributed to that higher noise level.
