More about the EDIROL R-09HR
The EDIROL R-09HR field recorder is the complete recording package and the follow up to the hugely successful R-09 (which has sold a staggering 100,000 units). The R-09HR features a host of features plus an amazing performance that offers recording up to 24-bit/96kHz, a low noise floor, and a great battery life. The unit also features quality microphones for superior recording quality plus a large OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display with an ultra-wide wide viewing angle.

Usefully the unit also has a small speaker fitted to the back to enable personal monitoring of what you have recorded, so headphones are no longer required for monitoring purposes.
