I have a MacRecorder.  I am looking for something that provides
audio digitizing of significantly better quality.  What hardware is
available for the Mac II__ or SE?  (<$5000 of enhancements; 
good values under $1000 particularly interesting.)

Is a CD quality digitizer possible? Available?

If the best sound (in the above range) is to be had with the
hardware of, or on, another computer, please mention that too.  NeXt?

Have no need, or at least no desire to pay extra, for
a(n instrumental) music interface.  MIDI?

The extras of voice recognition capabilities (software?) and
even easy interfacing with the telephone or some other telephone
interface hardware would be of SOME interest however.  On second
thought DTMF should be trivial to handle with speech recognition
capabilities...after a call is detected and answered...but again
these would be frills; the primary quest is for very high quality
voice digitizing.



Am interested in personal experiences, published reviews,
digest references, hearsay, whatever...about quality, sources,
cost...

Please e-mail.  Will summarize to net if I get any me-too-z.
