so this means nothing? http://www.minidisc.org/mj_ja3es.html so theres me all this time with my ja3es and mds-ja30es (both black) thinking when i record from my vinyl, it was digitising/quantizing @ 44.1khz at 20bits PCM, compressing 4.7 to 1, and on playback RECONFIGURED back to 44.1khz @20bits PCM and sent to the D/A. lying monkeys. are they wrong? i know of the u-matic audio conversion, there was one for the betamax aswell, about the same time beta changed its logo, and i know its 3/4 inch, i work in tv and have dubbed/archived loads of vacume sucking 2", dirty 1", and 8track umatic hi and low band, to d1/digi beta.

core is the video compression, i didnt mention it was the audio, you just asumed, the audio is uncompressed. i know what dolby ac-3 is, and i know the bit rate is better on dvds then it is on film prints, i know DTS is 20bit, and there was an updated 24bit dts but theres like no software. i know a lot about audio formats and video formats, i know the reason why its 44.1khz is because of a converted sony beta VCR. why does it seem like you post is sarcastic??? like i said, if its digital, there is bit depth, what the hell does it get converted to from its lossy form??? what gets sent to the internal DACs??? and by the way, if you look up SAcd properly you will find its compress lossless 2-1 and i know its a 1bit sample running 64 times faster then cd (or is it 8) i hav a SCD-1 (even though it lyes and is not a true balanced deck!)

the thing is, if ATRAC aint even 16bit, what the hell is Dolby AC-3/DTS/AAC/WMP and other compression formats??? DTS is 20bits right? its compressed at a 4;1 ratio comparable to MD. look up the interview with the sony 3es engineers, they say its 20bits all the way. take digi beta for an example, the video is 10bit compressed 2;1 via sonys CORE compression, so its not that lossy, but the SDI output is still 250megabytes plus, cos its been reconstucted. so i guess even DVD-audio aint really 24bit as its compressed, or for that matter even SA-CD is compressed if you didnt know??? there always is a bit depth, in audio or video.

well i kind of dissagree, on a premastered album, such as Mariahs 1995 Daydream, this is a 20bit Super Bit Mapped dithered down on to Gold CD, but on the MiniDisc version it truly is 20bits. i have a 30es deck, and listening to certain premasters or recordings of my pro-ject deck is fantastic (with its 4 filters) i am interested in this, i want to get a soundcard and capture a 16bit out put and compare it to a 20bit out put from my deck, as you can set the digtial out put word length!

not really, SDI video with 4 embeded digital audio tracks at 48khz each, fits down a 75ohm BNC okay! thats about 270MB persec. SP/DIF toslink can in theory hit 250MB but as both consumer versions are crap (ground problems with some coax outputs) and the fact that the public dont really use real coax. there is a duel XLR standard, that can take 178/192khz, TEAC has a disc transport and DAC that has the standard. im sure its used in the profesional field also. anyways, looks like HDMI will be the reall cable that does it all, like a digital scart:)

posted already, but got a useless reply! HELP: Sony ES Deck 20bit output into PC? what soundcard can? Hi, need some help:) Got a Sony 30ES deck, that can output 20bits via optical toslink, so does anyone have recomendation as to what PC soundcard i can get to make files/wavs in 20bit rez? Ive got some live concerts ive recorded over the years that i wanna convert:) cant do the easy option of getting a uber Yamaha soundcard as ive not got coax out, but if this is the only viable option to keep 20bit rez i'll just have to get a THETA TLC to convert the optical to coax. look forward to your comments, and be as technical as u want, i will understand:) thx James also, is ES recording really 20/24bit res? or is it just dittered down 2 16bits?

Hi-MD recording VS 24/20bit MiniDisc recording??? Hi, was wondering , heard all about the slickness that is the new Hi-MD format, but as it can record in 16bit pcm, which is fine if the scorce is 16bit i guess but if i was recording from 12" wouldnt a recording from say a sony ES 24 or 20bit deck be better??? and if so, wouldnt live recordings be better on a 24bit sharp 722, then on 16 bit pcm Hi-MD? also, what "bit" is atrac3 and atrac3plus please:)

yes well i got my friend to do it, so i gave her the small mic insted of the 907! im gonna do one with a 907 soon thou:)

http://thabuzz.com/mariah/rcmh/BandIntroNYC2003.zip can get the rest from here http://thabuzz.com/mariah/rcmh/ was done on a old sharp 722 (bought it in 2001 for the 10mwatt output) and a £20 panasonic mic (like the one awia give away!)
