Well, I could spend up to 7-800 EUR to get good quality. I see the "Sony MZ-NH1" sells for ca 500 EUR on "Sony style". What would you suggest? Also, in the Hi-MD forum, I've tried to read along the huge and somewhat disparate thread on "Marcnets" home-made tool to upload Hi-MD to PC. But I also saw another thread where a moderator (you?) indicated that the transfer from Hi-MD to PC was rather simple using just a USB cable, though the "SS" program appears to be weak. I don't get this - if it is that simple to do, why such a hoopla about the "himderer" by Marcnet? Surely I've missed points browsing the posts, but reading it all in detail would take eons... Cheers, Monika

OK, but what about Hi-MD? Are there such units that allow USB to PC transfer? And what about the sound quality of Hi-MD. Is that better than "normal" MD, or just a more space saving compression? thanks, Monika :ohmy:

Dear all, I wish to do field recordings using MD (Hi-MD?!) and digitally transfer that to PC for processing. What would be a good combination of tools? (or possible the best in terms of sound quality) ? I don't know anything about the new MD formats, nor modern players and their possibilities. I now use a Sony MZ R70, but have only managed to upload my work in a lossy analog way through MD headphone output to analog in connectors on a DI-Port (MindPrint) connected to my RME PC card. Are there some kind of MD recorders/players/decks that allow digital transfer to PC via USB2? Or Hi-MD or whatever new stuff is out there? The old JB920 deck gives S/PDIF output but may not be available, and had some mechanical problems according to this site. Someone here said "Why not enter the computer age and get a Hi-MD unit? Then you can upload PCM or Hi-SP compressed recordings (in real time) digitally to a computer using USB to get a wav file you can edit." So given the above, I'd very much appreciate a pointer (not to ebay please!) as to what might be a good setup. If it's available in Europe that is even better! Thanks, Monika :love:

Dear all, I'm new here. I wish to record a stereo signal to an MD and then somehow digitally transfer the file to my PC. I've got S/PDIF connectors in my PC soundcard. I have seen (www.quietamerican.com) that one might use a SONY JB920. I wonder if there are other or better options? Perhaps with USB output or such. Grateful for any thots on this matter! /Monika
