nanatsusaya Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 HiI'm new to this forumJust a few question i wanna ask...I have a Sony MZ-R70 that was bought somewhere in March/April 1999... I was thinking of replacing it as it was old and it's starting to give me problems... (sometimes it won't load/play the md...)So I browsed around, did some research and thought of buying the RH-10. The thing is I end up buying a NH-1 instead (cause it's damn cheap) and I was wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between the two units. I know that the RH-10 will play native mp3 format straight away without conversion to ATRAC and it's got those pretty OLED (one of the reason i wanted one).And the reason I didn't get the RH-10 was that I read that the screen was prone to scratches and finger marks... I like to keep my things in perfect condition...Anyway my NH-1 unit just came this morning... and i'm pretty satisfied with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanatsusaya Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Doesn't anyone know the difference between NH1 and RH10??? Other than the OLED on RH10 and that RH10 can play native mp3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably figure it out by having a look at the equipment browser here: http://www.minidisc.org/equipment_browser.html But NH1 has magnesium casing, Li-ion battery vs. Nimh, HD Digital AMP, NH1 has a better remote etc...

Can anyone give me an explanation for this and if NH1 is capable of recording real SP?I also read that RH10 can only record in Hi-MD Mode (but will play SP, LP,etc or record it using sonic stage). Is this true?Sorry for the questions as I'm new to Hi-MD... My old unit is the R70 so I don't concern myself with recording mode or whatever since it only supports the original ATRAC (am I right??)

Richard Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 thanks for the replyAnother question I want to ask is I remember reading something about fake SP and real SP. Can anyone give me an explanation for this and if NH1 is capable of recording real SP? Yes, but only via Optical In. "Fake SP" is an encoding method used by Sonic Stage for backwards compatibility purposes that basically wraps LP2 (132k) as SP, but with no actual increase in sound quality to allow this to be played on legacy players that don't even have MDLP capability. I also read that RH10 can only record in Hi-MD Mode (but will play SP, LP,etc or record it using sonic stage). Is this true? Correct. Again only Fake SP is available through Sonic Stage.

tommypeters Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 ...but if you don't need compatibility with non-Hi MD players you would use Hi-SP for good sound quality through SonicStage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
