Hard disk based recorders store sound as files, just like DAW's. Some hard disk based recorders (RADAR 24 for one) also support more than one file format. Using the ethernet port you can access these files over the network via tcp/ip just like you do any other file. At this point you can copy the file to the filesystem on the local DAW or open the file and convert it to another format. There are no real issues with ethernet except occasional packet loss. Packet loss, however, only tends to occur on large networks of 40 or more users or where routers are involved. Basically, I can use .wav files quite readily. The process I use will be simple. I will copy them across the network from the RADAR 24, create segments, and voila.

I have tested this out with a borrowed mx-2424 and it works real well.
