jonny mac Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) My main portable listening is HiMD these days but I've been keeping an eye out for a cheap ATRAC CD player for a while. The other day I found a D-NE300 for £19.99 (in Sainsbury's of all places) and decided to go for it. I fully expected the output to be Euro-capped to some degree and sure enough it's very quiet. A quick check of the specs states 1.5mW for Europe and 5mW elsewhere; barely above the much-maligned N710 output. I have a portable amplifier I can use with this, after all, I didn't buy it for small size, but would obviously prefer to uncap it if possible.Apart from that it seems a very good CD player for the money. You'd be hard pressed to find any MP3 CD player in the UK for much less than £20, never mind a Sony one that can play ATRAC disc too and has a clear 3-line LCD to boot. The battery life (at 85 hours for an ATRAC CD and 55 for regular CD) is impressive, the sound quality seems very good and it's not all that bulky. Also better built than many, I could like it a lot. The only real failing apart from the volume is the lack of remote support.So, does anyone know if this can be uncapped and, if so, how?Many thanks Edited November 26, 2005 by jonny mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
