Hey e1ghtyF1ve, Thanks for the tip, you made my day! Off to buy an affordable HiMD. If minidisc goes obsolete, I'll "only" be out a couple hundred $'s and still have a decent recorder that will last a few years. Compared to the price of a SD722, that's not too bad. FPK

How do you experienced users connect pro mics to your HiMd's? By pro I mean something like a Sennheiser K6/ME series that has a battery powered phantom power unit in it. If I hook this up to the mic line-in, will it work? What sorts of outboard boxes do you use to hook up pro mics that don't have phantom power? Has anyone tried a Sound Devices MixPre with a HiMD? Did it make a difference? Is it overkill? Thank you, FPK

I am a Mac user and I don't like the idea of paying an extra $100 or so to buy the MZ-M100 over the RH10. If I record something as a PCM file on an RH10, upload it onto a PC, turn it into a .wav file using Sony's software, can I then transfer this same file to my Mac using something like a little usb drive? Will my Mac recognize it as a plain old .wav file without some weird Sony encription? I don't plan on downloading anything onto the RH10, I'll use it strictly as a recorder. If this works, I'll put up with the inconvenience to save a hundred dollars! Thanks, FPK
