As far as HDV audio, if you can hear the difference between HDV compressed audio and the very noisy DSR 390 PCM audio, then there is something significantly wrong with how you're recording it. Seriously. HDV audio is only problematic when it's not fed enough level, or if you're recording extreme dynamics such as symphonic works or a very intimate acoustic set in a noisy room where even the ear has a problem with signal to noise. Proper mic techniques obviate that problem.
