Hi Guys, First off, thanks for the replies, very much appreciated. Well, I ordered and received the rh1 yesterday, and as anyone with a new toy am in love with it, even thinking of purchasing a pair of binaural mics to explore binaural recordings. there is only 2 (that I know of) portable headphone amps which feature an optical in connection and a dac so any player with an opitcal out is a good thing, and certainly a novel thing for me to play around with at any rate. I have the iriver h120 which features an optical in and out but have yet to purchase one of those amps featuring an optical connection, but, as it is on the horizon for me I thought I would ask regarding the md players. Headroom make one, Ibasso discontinued one called the d1, but is set to replace it soon. However, all that being said, being able to record my cd collection via optical connection and then play back through the rh1 using a headphone amp and some high end portable cans would be a glorious experience. I dug out some old md's I had and the sq straight from the headphone out of the player was really rather special, I can see why everyone seems to speak highly of the sony hd amps built into these players. The x5, yes that is on my hitlist but sadly only available used now and even so, very rarely seem to come up for sale anywhere. Can I ask, if you were to take your md player outside the home to do some recording, what would be your usual kit? just the player, discs and a mic and literally thats all or is it all uber expensive specialist equipment?

The clip has a screen. OLED I believe

the only mini disc portable perhaps

wow, no one here espousing mini disc for their sound quality uses headphone amps etc?

Hi, first, I am not confident about the best place to post this so chose this forum, sorry if there is a more suitable forum for this post, feel free to move it there, cheers. First entered the mini disc arena about ten years ago with a kenwood player, had it stolen 6 mths later and never bothered with portable players for a few years. However, the last 5 years or so I have been using hdd based iriver players such as the h340 and ihp 120, before finally succumbing to the magnetism of apple where I now have a few ipods, a couple of sansas and the trusty irivers. The start of this year however I discovered headphone amps and iem's etc etc so have been really pursuing sonic qualities from my portable equipment, to this end, I have just bought a sony mini disc player mz-n910 (hopefully will be getting an mz-rh1 before the year is out also). Now, the main point of this post; what are the options in terms of marrying these mini disc players up with portable headphone amps? Do these players feature true line out? if so do any feature an optical connection? I notice a couple of players feature an optical "in", but I am curious as to what equipment and purpose you would implement this connection? Any help ideas, experiences of how people use and implement their players alongside other equipment such as amps etc would be greatly ap[appreciated. T.I.A.
