  1. In terms of cpu power instructions per second, what processing power does a type-s chip have? Is it equivalent to a 386 or arm processor? Where is more info available?
  2. I'm using firefox with win7 and forum is working fine. Whatever you do with the rh1 be careful and think twice before doing it. Doesn't the rh1 have eq. built in?
  3. The sound of LP4 has more to do with original source than whether a type-r or type-s chip is used in playback? Fair to say?
  4. Yes I agree but the nameplate on the unit says Type-R, guess they didn't bother changing it.
  5. I have 2 of them as well bought several years ago when no one wanted them. 1 is preserved new in packaging. The other one I did use it as a sports model - dropped it so many times it still plays well. Also the manual that came with it said it was a type-s player, so I must have a later revision of this model.
  6. Yes it would be strange to buy this new and then ask the salesperson where could I buy discs for this thing or how come none of my friends ever heard of minidisc.
  7. Funny you can still buy a minidisc unit in 2010 new. http://kromerradio.com/promo.htm Sony MZ-S1
  8. I am listening to an LP4 MDLP disc with 4 CDs. Sounds really good for LP4. I used simpleburner from CDs.
  9. The opensource project would be a great idea, how difficult could this be?
  10. Get the same error as well. Does not seem to install on non-Japanese language PCs. It may install if you first install Japanese language pack.
  11. Did you end up making a recording? What source did you use? What is your opinion of the sound?
  12. I think I understand thanks for the explanation. "FROM ATRAC to CD is lossless" is lossless the best way to describe this transformation?
  13. I was thinking if the function is in the user manual then it works that way. Manual seems to indicate so.
  14. On page 12 of the user manual there is a title copy function md to md. Does this not imply ATRAC to ATRAC direct data copy? Does this mode run at 4x? Can titles be copied through SPDIF? This could rule out one of the modes?
  15. I am curious and will look into the hardware (service manual). However, I would revise the experiment to an improved experiment with RH1. Take MDa and copy to MDb, MDc. File compare MDb and MDc. They should be exactly the same. Then copy MDb to MDd and compare. The outcome of this result could settle the question here.
  16. Don't offend us here by saying its going to take a long time! Record in SP and you might just be amazed after 74 minutes what you hear provided your files are CD sourced like flac or wav (not mp3). Like I said do you own an ipod?
  17. As sfbp mentioned earlier, no software associated with your model. Your model isnt netmd or h-md capable so no SS or SB required. Don't worry though your ANI can record in realtime and very high quality. So record in realtime using analog input on the MD and play the music file in winamp. It is just like recording a tape the old fashioned way. You sound like you have an ipod:)
  18. Try to select windows update when it asks for cd instead. Other than that not sure what else you can try.
  19. Sorry just as mentioned before just plug it in (the usb side). If it doesn't recognize, try another usb port, or another computer. It should be listed as a device, check under device manager. Winamp needs to have the device selected as the output. As mentioned before there isn't much to get this working if it still in fact is working. If you have an oddball PC, it might take some work to get it working so try other computers first if you can.
  20. Do you have a win 2000 machine? It may have still picked it up, can you select it as an audio device? You have to have the usb end plugged in the pc. I tried on my windows 7 laptop and it installed it without issue. Gonna try it tonight:)
  21. I have the AN1 analog version. It really is a nice device. Above statement is correct just plug it in windows as it already has the driver for it. It will look like a soundcard in windows, I was using winamp to play the file and select this device as the output. Even though it is analog the sound quality will be very good. I guess digital may be even better.
  22. I didn't realize you had many portables. How would you compare the NE410 sound with HI-MD 600D with ATRAC or ATRAC3 (not 3+)?
  23. The only comment I have about ripping from CD either in your deck or SS is if it is highspeed the reading of the disc can introduce more read errors and hence more distortion. I am pretty sure many of later model downloader models would all have type-s. This is because their ATRAC chip with type-s would be the most cost effective for the manufacturer to use even though it offers the consumer the highest sound quality.
  24. Thanks Steve for clarifying the ATRAC SP upload process, sounds like you have a great vinyl collection to preserve. I tried to skip using the jog dial, but it fast forwarded. How do you get it to skip to the next track without the remote? What battery model# or what ebay seller do you recommend? I am just afraid I wont be able to find a replacement in the near future.
