Ishiyoshi Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I think you meant versus rather than "virus." Anyhow, the MZ-RH10 is definitely better than the MZ-N1 for obvious reasons - just to name a few: OLED display, updated sound engine and optical block, 1GB Hi-MD capacity and ATRAC3plus. Nonetheless, I trust you will read more or less positive feedback for the RH10 over the MZ-N1 in the following posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Did you mean N1 or NH1 (the more usual comparison)?Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does support Hi-MD blanks and the Hi-SP and Hi-LP ATRAC modes though. The NH1 has a magnesium body construction making it very solid, but has only a 1-line display on the unit and small controls on the unit, with the remote carrying most of the functionality for it.The MZ-RH10 is a second generation Hi-MD unit which cannot record in NetMD modes on the unit (though can using sonicstage) but can playback MP3s in their native form, without them being converted to ATRAC. There is a high-end filter on MP3 playback though causing a loss in volume in the treble range (it gives the effect of things like symbols sounding a lot quieter on MP3 playback) but in my opinion you can overcome this easily by playing around with the equaliser on the unit (though if you intend to get a European unit you will have to hack it to get the equaliser.) As it is a Hi-MD unit it also supports the Hi-MD modes. In terms of body, the RH10 is plastic with a notoriously easily scratchable aluminium lid but it does have a an organic El LED display which (in addition to being far bigger than the NH1's display) is visible in the dark.Personally I'd go with the RH10 as I feel it's a better unit (though definitely not for someone who has to do a lot of recording in MDLP for older MD units) and it's also cheaper!To sum it up:NH1+ body- unlit 1-line display (though with highly functional backlit remote to compensate)+ NetMD recording on Unit- cannot play MP3 back in native form- more expensiveRH10- body+ lit 6-line display/better user interface- no NetMD recording on unit+ can play mp3 back in native form+ cheaperAt least, those are the main points I can come up with...
