- 3.5 mm digital in


Digital In?!  :o  A SONY deck with digi in...has hell frozen over?

How many pins can you get in 3.5mm?

I'm sure it'll be mini-toslink (optical) input.  the real problem with these is that even with PCM recording, you're still probably limited to 16 bit...

PCM is 16, ATRAC was always 20...

If Sony can produce Hi-MD discs that are at least 2-4 GB in size.
I'm game, but then again....
sony has lost the plot. The future is solid state.

MDs have (for the most part) always had optical in. 

I believe all HIMDs have had stereo level meters.  Ive got the MZ-NH10 about a year ago and it had has it. 

Sony has a 2GB disc in the works but who knows when it will come out. 

DPA 4060 > MMA600 > MZ-RH10 sounds like this and this

If it will take a AA battery on the side then im game.  I dig the OLED of my current unit but its REALLY bright and would like to have something that is a tad darker and from the pic it looks like it is.

Looking at the picture it looks like the display is on the top side of the unit which will be nice...you can just look down into your pocket and check your levels with out having to take out. 

The lack of usb 2.0 is my only complaint about the model ive got now but according to the spec page it will support it.  I dont know what the read speeds are on the MD but its got to be faster then 11mb a sec...it takes damn near forever to upload a show in PCM.

i know that they all had stereo meeters, but these are LEDs and not LCD.  that is a nice difference.  and the orientation of them, as you pointed out, will certainly be handy.

Also, check out the comments at http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/09/minidisc-lives-hi-md-mz-rh1-said-to-be-coming-soon


omfg!  hahaha.... a comment from that site:

"13. I love minidiscs for recording live music. I don't think even an iPod with a mic adapter could record at the same quality level as a MiniDisc. I don't like proprietary Sony formats, so screw this. I just want something that will record music as an MP3 and can be transferred for editing to my Mac drag and drop style. So my iPod may get the job even though I'm sure a minidisc would sound better.

Lose the proprietary format, add drag and drop format, and I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat.

Oh man... that one line is a classic "I don't think even an iPod with a mic adapter could record at the same quality level as a MiniDisc"

that one line is probably true.  MD "preamps" have allways sounded pretty good comparred to things like Jb3.  I dont know that the Ipods amplification on a line or mic signal is anything special.

Why would LCD be better then OLED?  Doesnt the LCD need a light source (either front or back) where and LED would not?

Oh I know its true, but the fact that he even regards the ipod as a good live recording device is what cracks me up.   Not quite as disparate, but that would be like saying "I don't think even an D8 with a mic adapter could record at the same quality level as a 744T."  While it would be true, the fact that I would put up a D8 in high regards next to a 744t would be laughable.  ;-)

Aren't LEDs response times WAY FASTER than LCD? That is a nice thing, and basically why I run an SVU off my JB3.
