Has anyone any experience with this device? I can't find any decent review about it. Any user experienced coment will do.

Something about it's battery life when using mp3's, functionality in general, is there a hack for headphone output and volume restriction, ... It's a thing of beauty opposite to other hi-md models but the lack of line-in and some missing edit functions confuse me and makes me wonder is it worth all that money?

Please, can anyone help me, someone who has the unit or knows someone that does? Thanx!

I know the unit and wrote a review:

Sadly the review is still in Dutch (working on an English version) but if you have questions I can always try to answer them.

Thanks for reply but i don't understand a word of Dutch... so as many others that would agree with me. The best help would be to see the english version of your review. It would be heavenly since there is no other review available. Please, see if you can do something about it.

We are working on it but we do not have a lot of time.

Then maybe you could at least answer me some questiones, please. The one i asked at first still stands; how does the battery behave (in accordance to the manual), how long does it take to download mp3's (ex. 100Mb), isthere any sound difference between mp3 on pc and md, is there a hack for european headphone output and equalizer? What do You think about it in general, is it worth all that money?

Best I can find is http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?act=A...type=post&id=77 and http://www.lordpercy.com/sony_mz-dh10p_review.htm. Your right though there seems to be a lack of reviews, at least at first glance.

You could always just translate the text of the dutch review using an online translator like babelfish (google it). It'll be a bit messed up gramatically of course, but may be able to tell you what you want to know?

The battery behave just like with other Sony MD's. The batterylife in the manual is measured according to JEITA standards and is pretty accurate but of course you have to keep in mind that batterylife is very dependant of the use. Generaly speaking the battery is more than good enough to last a day of intensive use.

To download about 100 Mb of mp3's it takes as long as current and first generation Hi-MD's to transfer 100 Mb of audio data. I would say about 5 minutes but I did not measure that exactly because transferspeeds are as said as fast as with first generation models (so nothing new about that).

Yes there will be a hack because the DH10P also has a service-menu and in the service-manual they describe the regional codes. So yes, the DH10P can be hacked too.

Is it worth the money? Personally speaking: NO. Why? The real improvement from the DH10P in comparison to the RH10 is the digital camera and the color display. It takes nice pictures I must say but because I already have a nice digital camera (Fujifilm Finepix S304) I only would use the digital camera only use the digital camera to take snapshots when I'm underway. Also for that purpose I can use my Sony-Ericsson K700i. So to pay 200 euro more for a feature I'm not going to use often is a bit strange. But that's MY opinion. The DH10P is a very proper build and thought over device so I can image that people buy it and have use for the camera. For my personal the RH10 was more than good enough and a lot cheaper.

One big plus the DH10P indeed has. He sounds much more natural than the RH10 but probably that is the difference between a Digital Amplifier and a HD Digital Amplifier.

And if someone understands Dutch and wants to translate it to English please contact me and I will be happy to but that English verion on the site.

Furthermore the review contains quite some pictures that also tell a lot.

I'm interested in one more thing;

can I edit tracks on md on the way to delete them, create new groups or delete them, move tracks from one group to another, renaming...?

Can i do that on md itself or i can do that by using Sonicstage?

Is it possible to edit songs even after i transfer tracks from pc to md with Ss or md alone?

Can i delete songs with md without using Ss?

This is not a specific DH10P question but this is also the same for all Hi-MD walkmans.

I've been reading everywhere about the dh10p- but do have some confusion- some of review and product overviews complain about no line in/mic in. However sony specs and some sellers are listing that this unit has a line in/mic in. Which is it? Does it or doesn't it?
