sonic_rage Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi, minidisc.org forum newb here.im looking into buying a cheap entry level hiMD, 1st or 2nd generation, doesnt matter. price is an issue for me.i have been a longtime netMD user and im still quite satisfied with its quality so im pretty much looking for a decent sounding player that simply has the ability to read/write hiMD discs; dont expect any bells and whistles.i was looking into the MZ-DH710, what do you guys think?

bogon07 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 sonic_rage,Go for the MZ-RH710 which has a line-in and power adaptor insocket rather than the MZ-DH710 which is only a downloader. 2nd Generation unitSame for the MZ-NH600 rather than MZ-NH600D. 1st Generation unit.

It certainly is a discontinued model, plus even if you Froogle it, there are 2 hits, and both are incorrect (Musician's Friend had a typo, and they're really selling the DH710).

bogon07 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 These days it depends on which country, there seems to be a few in UK. See doomlordis' review of his MZ-RH710 (13Aug2005)http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=11669In Australia there are no D/RH710s at all only NH600s.Anyway the main point is if you are going to buy a Hi-MD you've more flexibility for recording with a line-in as well as the USB.sonic_rage, if you have some high end net MDs perhaps you should aim for a higher spec model eg RH910 as veezhun suggested.

veezhun Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 please tell us your budget in US dollars.. the rh910 on amazon is really a good purchase.. has mic in, opt in, line in, digital amp etc etc..its a one time purchase so dont lose out on that mic in option.. you never know when you might neeed to plug in a mic and start recording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javertim Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I got my RH910 from Digital Foto Club (www.digitalfotoclub.com) for only $161. It came to around $170 WITH shipping. I found their Customer Service to be pretty good and all, so I would recommend them. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) If you are going to be simply downloading music from your computer, and have no use for a line/optical in, or a mic in, the cheapest you will find will probably be the NH-600D. I picked one up recently on eBay for about $30 USD. Works great as a player. Only downside about it being a 1st gen is that your mp3's will have to be converted to Atrac prior to transferring. I've seen these for sale brand new for around $60 a few places online. Personally I would recommend a unit with at least a line-in. That way you are not limited to recording only from a computer. But again, if you will only be transferring from a computer, the NH600D should fit your needs. You can also use it as a removeable disk on your computer.The NH600D also only runs from 1 AA battery, and does not have any AC input for power. However it seems to get power from USB while it is connected to computer and transferring.Best advice I can give though... If you can dish out a bit more and get a unit with a line in & mic in, you will be set. And you won't be unhappy.
