I have a question to all users of the MZ-M200/MZ-RH1 and all Hi-MD players. I make linear pcm copies of my cds. I have comparing the sound of the same recording on the cd and the hi-md using the same volume through my wireless headphone with dolby amp. Anyway, my Hi-MD version was not a loud as the cd version. It doesn't mean that it wasn't loud, just not as loud. I had to crank up my headphone to reach the same level.
I use the line-out setting.
Does the connection matter? My blu-ray is connected with a coaxial cable, but my hi-md is connected through an anologue connection, the only way to output it. I do have to say, I like how the minidisc player sounds. The sound is warmer. Instead of loudness there is richness.
I can't explain what I mean. Does anyone have issues like that? And when I incread the recording level on my hi-md, there is distortion. So when I use auto, it is just right to the ear, but is not as loud as the source cd.
What do you guys say?
