I presume you are talking about the A77 - it was a very early design, but its strong points are not going to be obvious to an average user. Once you remove the cover you see its pro product roots, with many upscale things there - it was the design philosophy from top down, from pro to consumer level. But it is a compact machine, so some usability issues are there, like hard access to heads and the roller. They eventually refined that basic topology in PR-99.
I don't like Dolby, don't use it, it has no place in high end.
I am not really a Studer/Revox aficionado, even though I own four of each, but I respect the company for its overall contribution and it has done some great things.
