another iPod problem is the battery, in the Hi-MD you can use a normal AA battery...! in the iPod no!

I'm interestedin mz-nh700.... i hope that it will be available in july! :smile: i want it for holiday.....! :smile:

i called sony last week, they say it's already in june(for Europe), i think that consumers section doesn't know anything.... i hope that new Hi-MD will be available in EU before august, or we have to wait september.... it's difficult that Hi-MD will be available first in europe than US

i really hope it!! :happy: i don't want to take it in autumn...!!

i think it's usuefull, but not so important to spend 80[ much more, cosidered that i'm not interested in stick control with backlit... the only things is the digital amp... :ohmy:

i'm goig to take the mz-nh700... i think that's the 900 is better, but the 700 is cheaper, i'm not interested in stick control... but i can change idea....! :smile:

in my cd player(sony) i've 1 bit dac.. it's that the digital amplifier?

i've not understand... :ohmy: the eh1 isonly a player, but however it will be available only in japan....

i'm not english and maybe i can miss-understand what you are saying... if you see here -->> http://www.minidisc.org/part_Hi-MD_Sony.html i can understand than the mz-nh600 eh1 have the same function, all the models are downloader at least, i think that the mz-eh1 is like the 600 but externally is the same of mz-nh600... so if you are interested only downloading(not mice or line in) you can take mz.nh600... unfortunetly the eh1 will be available only in japan.....! the design was so cool.... like the nh1 but cheaper...

but in the mz-nh900 there is the small(flat) battery and the external AA battery pack... i've a questions, the battery pack is the big and black things below the MD? or it is the stand..? or the function is double, stand + battery pack.. i think it's a little bigger than they can do...! another questionsis for the availability of this type of battery... here in Italy i have never seen it on sales, and researching in internet i've not found a lot.... and finally... what's the life of that's battery, how many cicle of rechearging they can do?

i use MD in not-silence-place, so the quality is usually disturbed by the external noise(bus, traffic, voices...).. however i can appreciate quality in the night(the steereo can disturb the neighbors :laugh: ) i've time to think... :wacky: thanks jadeclaw! p.s. I hope (and i think you like me.. :happy: ) that the launch date will be not delayed in europe like in US... at first time it was april in US and june europe.. now june US.. and europe.. september?? i want it for the summer....! :smile:

no, i don't... it's the quality so different?? :cool: i've an old r500 without(off course) digital amp.... how muche the quality increase? more bass? more clear sound?

it's possible that i've understand the group function.... :ohmy: (that's a miracle if it's true..) i'm right? that's the groups way funvtion of the mz-nh1 and mz-nh900... in the other model you can orgnize your music in different mode like.... i don't know! ù excuse to all if I a am a break-ball-person(i don't know if it's possible to say this in english... in Italian rompiballe!)but i want to know before, 'cause i'm not decided to buy 900 or 700, i'm not interested in jog-control, digital-amp and other... but I want to know only groups function... :smile: thanks a lot!

thaks for all jadeclaw!! :smile: p.s. if you go to www.sony.co.uk the release date is for june... maybe in all the rest of europe? :grin:

thanks to all of you! :smile: now i've (partial) understand! :wacky: but how many groups you can create with the"standard" mode? re-thanks! :smile:
