Thanks for all the suggestions. I went ahead and purchased a used/mint 840GX ($350). I've worked with the 880 before and understood it enough for what I need. I felt with this unit, I could experiment with the Audiophile 24/96 too to get my feet wet on using the wife's cd burner in her computer (she's already paranoid that I'll mess up her programs). Also, I have the Roland VA-76, so I can take advantage of using zip formats. Wish me well. (Most problems lie in the fact that I sell stuff before I learn it, thus getting nothing done!)
