Here's a solo guitar example that I posted here quite a while back as a blind test. I know that take B is the Zoom H6 with the internal XY mics (obvious because the mic placement is different). The other 2 (a or c) are 1) the Zoom with external mics, and 2) the same mics thru a Great River preamp/Cranesong HEDD A/D, and RME AES-32 interface, so a significant difference in the preamp and A/D converter quality. I'd have to look up which is which, (a or c). It's not obvious to me from listening now. Three different performances, of course, so there are minor variations in sound due to that.
This is just guitar, recording vocals at the same time as the guitar is a whole different topic, and not so much specific to the Zoom, more of a question of mic placement and other techniques for balancing the two. Fran Guidry has a nice demo or two on his homebrew music page.
