It is what you think it is, so I won't go into that, If you looking at it then you know. So, one gripe: The battery tray is finicky and plastic. It's the only cheap-ish aspect to this whole thing. But it's not really important. I won't be using batteries like that, I'll be powering it through the usb-c connector always. If you're going to be attaching it under a camera or other thing temporarily with the 1/4 20 then just slip that allen wrench in your pocket, that magnet is strong! 32bitfloat/192 with 128gbSony SD (not on their supported list but works for me!) gives me 9 hours!!

This is thing is good - reeaaalllly good. Once your ears taste the dead silence of these preamps, there ain't no going back. The small touch screen is working better than I expected. The on/off button placement and usability is not the greatest, but the sound fidelity from this unit makes up for any of the little problems. Way to go Sound Devices!
