Ian,

I believe the Echo Park actually came up as a discussion item very 
soon after its initial release.  At that time the early adopters 
complained about a high S/N ratio and poorer fidelity than on the DL4 
or Echo Pro, so many people just went on about their normal lives 
afterward.

However, there doesn't ever seem to be a "final word" on gear.  Tell 
us, have you noticed any noise issues with your unit?  In terms of 
sound quality and background hiss, how does it stack up on a 
head-to-head against your DL4?

        --m.
