This is the old analog X digital discussion !

I think that if you filter out some high freqs and add some white noise, your Micro-BR will sound just like a 4-track tape. The real warm analog sound, as observed in tube amplifiers e.g. is caused by increased dynamic range and subtle compression curves as compared to digital systems. But cheaper tape based recorders do not have a better dynamic range, they only have squeezed spectrum and noise.

I am sure i won't change your mind though!
