Syrius Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 True SP will always have a spot in my heart. Regardless if I'm using Hi-MD, I end up recording in true SP, through the optical input, even tracks I uploaded earlier to my CPU using the NHF 800. I could use Hi-SP, but I want to use my discs on my JVC unit with it's teeth-rattling bass settings. Besides, I kinda "need" those extra 36 Kbps that SP has VS Hi-SP.It sounds great, it doesn't eat battery as fast as PCM, and I can fit 80 mins of it on a regular MD. I love it.Am I crazy, or do I just love old style MD too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 That's perfectly fine. I still use true SP with my Sharp SD-NX10 (along with other misc. Sony/Sharp Pre-NetMD/MDLP & NetMD/MDLP units) although I have both generations of Hi-MD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breepee2 Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Atrac3Plus is better tuned for low bitrates (in order to compete in the market). Atrac 3 is better tuned for the original bitrate: SP. So the difference isn't in the extra bps, but in the codec. For high-end, good-ol SP is just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know Atrac3+ has only been tuned for low, not for high bitrates? How do you know 'Sp is just better'? Can You hear a difference at such a high bitrate?
