He doesn't actually record audio to the iPad though. Uses a Nagra field recorder.

I used the inverted commas as I was quoting Greg’s copy from the above URL.
The (16/24 bit 192 kHz recording) Nagra 7 is advertised from USD 3,300.00 to USD 4,500.00

Or you could snap one up for only $10,895 in Australia:
